Ok, I was in the writing forum and someone posted a sentence or two excerpt as an idea for a story, asking for a title. Aside from the fact that one can't actually title a story after only reading a few lines of text, someone actually came up with the following title:

"duos delightfull devination descturtion"

Though this doesn't actually qualify as txt tlk, I thought it might interest people for the sole fact that NOT A SINGLE FRIGGING WORD IS SPELLED RIGHT! Ahem. The final word is so badly massacred, I was hardly able to identify the corpse. Adding the need for pertinent words in a title to be capitalized, the correct would be:

Duo's Delightful Divination Destruction

How does one manage to misspell every word in a post?

...They destroyed destruction.

To answer your original question, unless they had their fingers on the wrong keys while typing, I have no honest idea.

Yeah, if you can sleep for a semester, then ditch the other one.

Not always, I sleep in class and aced all my exams. But, I could just be wierd like that.

It's more of, they just don't give a flying ********, and are going to type like that, because they're just too lazy to bother. How do you think TXT-TLK came about?

That... was... yeah. I'm surprised you could identify the remains. It's like the English equivalent of a gory crime scene.
