Wow, this is pretty hard to read. I wouldn't take it seriously, I'd think it was about bunnies or something.
I hope grey isn't too light. :/

I can read yours without much effort Kat. It is sort of bordering though. :XD

Sometimes if I have issues with reading light fonts, I highlight them and use the contrast to make it easier on me. =)

I like Jeanie's way.... if it's too light, then it's not worth reading, and I should skip it.

Yours is on the edge, Kat, but I can read it...

I don't read text speak either. :XD

They should notice that their text is hard to read.

Yes, I don't know why, but that text-speak always gets on my nerves.
It makes the person sound like they're about 13 years old...

Or they could be lazy. But either way, they just don't sound intelligent in the voice my brain gives them when I read stuff like that. DX
Plus, I can't stand trying to translate speech like that, it gives me a headache. @[email protected]

I have friends who to just have a conversation with are intelligent and articulate but use text speak on msn and Facebook. So I try not to judge people who use it, but it's hard. :/

I just don't see the point in it, it's meant to make it quicker but some of it is just as long if not longer than the word its replacing. You really shouldn't need a decoder to have a conversation.

To be honest I have more trouble understanding all of the mysterious acronyms that keep cropping up than text speak. One of my friends started typing 'OTL' all of the time and I had to look it up to discover it's not even an acronym, it's meant to represent a man on his knees. -_-

I don't see how that's a man on his knees. I hate when people do that owo thing. My brain just works under the assumption that everything is a word.

It's a man on his knees with both hands on the ground. Sort of like this pose but side on.

I have no idea what emotion all of the owo things are supposed to represent so I just guess from the rest of the post anyway.

Ok if I squint and turn my head and I can kind of see it. I haven't got a clue what that owo is meant to be either but I don't care enough to ask anybody that uses it. Much easier to to ignore its existence in the post.

I finally had to ask somebody what <3 meant. She used it all the time in posts with me, and I wanted to be sure I wasn't doing something wrong...

owo looks kind of like an owl, or some other bird. I'm guessing that's not the meaning though. :XD

All I can find on google is sex related but I doubt that's what they're meaning. I can't find any emote/smiley thing with it.

I guess just find the person who's using it and ask them what it means...

I use

I suppose, though I don't imagine myself saying that. x'D
It's more like "Yay!~"
I actually use it sometimes when I say hi to someone or ask how they're doing also. x'3
To show that I'm glad to see them or really wonder what they're doing~
