From Craigslist NY

I know I'm old school, but if you are trying to sell something, wouldn't it make sense to try spell-check or something? And put important stuff (mileage, year etc.) in ad?

Drives me nuts.

It almost sounds like Newspeak (from Orwell's 1984).

Sounds like a native Esperanto speaker trying to speak English.

Do you find a lot of kids using "txtspeak" in their written conversations or forum postings? Here, its a huge phenomenon whereby kids text each other on their cell phones (mobile phones). In doing so, and because text messages are limited to a certain amount of characters, a whole new language of abbreviations has sprung up. eg "hey,how u doing 2day.Im gr8 tnx".
A lot of forums here abhor txtspeak and will ban persistent users. Just wondering if its as prevalent in the US?

wEbonics?

It's likely prevalent anywhere there are:

a) kids
b) cell phones
c) kids with cell phones

;)

Not bustin' l33t, juz tryn 2 hlp w/411 btw!

Dats kul, jus wondrin..tnx 4ur msg :D

It seems, according to certain media reports that Ireland has the highest per head usage of text messages outside of Japan, and at a cost,on average, of 11c (EURO cent, that is) per text its a hugely profitable area for the phone networks.

Crack diller in trubbl needs to sell his hooptie quik.
If you got da green you can make da scene

Language?
 

Probably Sanskrit. The ancient Aryans bought a lot of S-Classes, y'know.

That MB sounds stolen OR he's a rapper.

IS IT JIVE?

Looks more like a German trying to type English.

From Airplane?

Poor/no education.

Apparently things are not much better in Merrie England,if we are to judge by the following London Craigslist ad........
