This is a subject I feel is a bit more open to debate than being blatanly branded "txt tlk".
Bot comments.
A lot of them use poor grammar, bad spelling, some text talk (such as "ORLY? 10!"), mixed in with general english, but computer-generated mix-'n-match phrasing.
Still, it is the appropriator of the bot scripts that allow such phrasing to run wild in, say, the Arena. (I am in the Arena this week and found a new twist: Three bot comments are already in my Profile. Go and look if you want to know what I mean.)
Do you consider the horror of Bot Comments a variation of "text talk" and bad grammar then? For example, "Hmmm....much awesome!"
(If you do not and thus consider this thread to be out of place, then please delete it. I was simply curious as to how the rest of you feel about the placing of bot comments as bad grammar and text talk.)
