What's up with the text language?

[nnarum]

So I'm chillin' at work and I get this email from one of my co-workers...

Hey Nick idk if youll get this before tomorro but il try calling you when I get off work tonight. Anyways im a part time temp, and I wanted to know if the hours 9am-2pm tomorro are still open? You can give me a call at XXX-XXXX if you still need someone thanks

Public education FTL. I must be out of the loop or something, damn.

I hope she doesn't email her boss like this...

 

[innovazn2]

im lost

 

[jordanhead2]

edit:

I misunderstood

 

[deletedelete]

idk what's wrong with you. i def understood that, LOL.

i get tired when typing or texting so i just resort to abbreviated words. a person's lack of texting/emailing skills doesn't necessarily correspondwith their intelligence or education. a lot of people by nature are just lazy

 

[kicktionair]

Even on my Mogul I always spell out words even if it takes 2 messages.

I hate hate when people cut words up or think they sound cute by spelling words wrong

I take as an insult to my intelligence.

If you didn't understand her, she meant meet her in the boy's bathroom in five minutes.

No she didn't

I understood her, but damn... Who writes like that in an email, at work, to someone you've never met!?

I wouldn't want a dumb person OR a lazy person to work for me.

[rwfanatic]

I hate when people type out words like Dat(that) or doe(though) .... there's a few others but I can't remember them at the moment.

 

[akf0dy7]

i hate when im texting someone and instead of LOL or haha they put hehe. i dont know what it is but it just irks the hell out of me.

 

[gg0tti]

That was perfectly understandable. Just a few spelling errors etc. I came in here expecting to see something like. "wats ^, !$! i taught we gon prtytnight. idc. hit me ^" you know something along those lines.

But you shouldnt write like that to people you work with if its for business purposes.

They both work in retail.
Should iron/steel workers be banned from cursing?

It's not a big deal.
I don't see how this has anything to do with "business ethics".

She might not have a phone with a keypad/keyboard or whatever it's called. I don't and it takes forever to text using the number pad.

I said this in another thread but I hate when dudes say "K" instead of OK or True or Alright. Seems madfeminine to me for some reason cause most people I know who do it are females...
