Chatspeak - what does it mean?

Also known as webspeak, chatspeak is basically an illiterate way of typing, and a way to massacre a language. Shortening words (such as you to u), insisting on ignoring captials, making words numbers, (such as 2 or 4) and not using endmarks are all parts of chatspeak. For most people it annoys them shitless, but certain people insist.

Chatspeak - meaning

When people think it's cool to shorten words when they type things on IM, message boards, etc. Newsflash: It's not cool. Don't do it. Instead of just saying "I'm an idiot!" you can just type in chatspeak and it will basically mean the same thing.

Chatspeak - slang

Considered by many to be a disgrace to the English language yet by others, a convenient way of symplifying sentences. A method of shortening words devised by countless web- surfers. Chatspeak is a whole language in itself, and new terms are constantly being added to it. Often, symbols are used in chatspeak. (!@#$%^&*... etc.) Is proven to degrade a person's English use and be a complete waste of time.
