I find emoticon spam more annoying than text speak these days. Mostly people who use emoticons for things that are not faces. >_>;

*Cough*everyabbreviationhasanemoticonwithglowingtext*choke*

Also, I find internet speak / shorthand annoying. Yet, I never comment on it.

Sometimes it's annoying when people do it intentionally. Otherwise for joke purposes it's all fun to go "lol".
Also I kinda agree with Yellow honestly I see people start using emoticons for any crap, like "?" and "!" AKA horrible tbh. One of the reasons I have smiles off. Meh I like things like =D etc more than a stupid smiley like :D etc.

...Am I the only one who never, EVER thought purposely misspelling things was cool?

Worst I ever did was shorthand, which was not so much laziness as it was I was just a freakin' kid and couldn't type better if I tried. I taught myself out of that one. =3

Man, I came to this thread to post this opinion specifically but it seems I've been beaten to the punch. I can tolerate the shortening of "you" to "u", "are" to "r", "for" to "4", and so on but what I can't stand is when people try to satirize "lazy" people by going overboard with abbreviations and homonyms. It really frustrates me and I've never really found it all that funny. Maybe, if it's only one word and it's in good taste but when people form phrases (or, God forbid, paragraphs) with these abominations, I weep for humanity.

Actually, that's what I have difficulty tolerating. I most often ignore people who type like that. If they can't be bothered to try to type correctly I can't be bothered to type at all.

I can tolerate it (considering sometimes I do 'liek' or 'hueg' or something along the lines for the lulz). However, when it gets too extreme, then it's just incrediably annoying, because sometimes they do it so much that you can't understand what they're saying.

Luckily, I don't really have any friends that text like that. Either they do it slightly ('u' 'r'), or they don't do it at all.

And yes, I really only tolerate it during texting, when we have limited characters. Any other time no thanks.

Well, I don't ever talk to people that type like that but I won't go out of my way to tell them to type out their damn words either. There's nothing I can do to convince them to put more effort into their posts so why bother? And chances are that if a person can't get over the fact that typing is slower than talking, our personalities won't match enough for us to get along. For that reason, I, like you, just ignore them and move on which, in my opinion, is pretty similar to the act of tolerating.
