My younger sister is starting to scare me. Instead of typing in plain english like the rest of my family, she does... in text talk. And she's only eight -_-. Does anyone else besides me have it as bad as this? (By the way, I didn't know if this had to be in a subforum or not, so if anyone can, please move it; and that would be much appreciated. smile

Set a good example, and hopefully her habits will improve. 3nodding If she texts you in txt-tlk, waste some of her minutes by asking, "What did you say? I can't understand that." It'll teach her to text properly eventually.

Only 8? And she has a cellphone. I'm 15 and I don't have one. I can't believe someone that young is already "txt tlkng".

I remember when I was seven, I "txt tlked" on my phone. I realized that I could hardly even read it, so I improved. Hopefully your sister will go through the same method.

At MyOwnBestCritic: She's not the kind to follow examples, but I could try that. surprised
At Lyonette: Yes, it is humanly possible for such to happen. @_@
At Critical Cookies: She doesn't really seem to... sweatdrop

I just really wish there was some way to get across to such people how stupid their text talk makes them sound.
Unfortunately it seems that trying, even politely, only invites their wrath and causes them to insist you're the obnoxious one who doesn't know any better. neutral

Unfortunate but true, if you say you do not understand, they question your intelligence, if you insist they write it out, they could either say they do not want to, or they do not feel like it etc. etc.
Kind of like trying to get people to realize Vegetarianism is a better way of living, but I digress, mainstream is mainstream and we are social beings who conform by nature.
