*sigh*

Normally, when I hit the text talk more than 2 lines long, I cease to keep reading it.

Yeah, I know! We were talking about my other best friend and could hardly read some of it! I don't know if he just can't spell or what, but I'm too nice to critize him... Well, I can in person, but that's different. You don't want to know how it feels to get messages from him like that, EVERYDAY!!!

That...was very difficult to read...and I'm 13.
I mean, what the f***? That isn't even correct txt talk!! You know what? That's just...his own version of it...or something. But still. It's utterly disturbing, and I couldn't understand it much. Someone give him a d*mned book!!

My attempt at translating this:

My sis[ter] says that Sue likes me, but Sue knows that I'm catching on and that she doesn't want me to totally figure it out. This makes a lot of sense because I asked if the boy she liked was in our last class and she looked worried lately (?) and tried to change the subject. P.S. If, on a long shot, it is me, because I talked to Grace and she was asking me if I liked Sue in that way and what's wrong if she liked me. What should I do? You know, I told you it's possible and I don't want to deny her. I mean, she's a friend and I try to give them what they want, but still we (I think that's what he's trying to say) are first and foremost friends. I do feel that I should give it a chance but [it's] still [a] long shot and we're friends. I don't think that being friends for a year could have made a crush/love/affection thing happen. You haven't told her, have you?


There you go. Translation complete. I must now go and bang my head on something to uncross my eyes.

So I'm not the only one!

When I saw that he spelled "deny" as "din-i," I cried. Literally. Everyone in the computer lab is looking at me like I'm insane. (Which is probably true, but that's beside the point...)

I KNOW!!! And, the worst part is that he wasn't trying to type in txt tlk!!! He's just a really bad speller!! I think that's SOOOO sad!!! And thanks for the translation... It was pretty close, I think...
