I agree with the general points made here, especially about it being hard to read text message style writing, but do things like 'kinda' or 'lol' count? (Obviously not in more formal posts, as in RPG.) Because I sometimes find myself writing things like that just for speed, and because it's not something that most people would have to figure out. Although I suppose not everyone will know. And I've noticed that quite a lot of people write j/k.
That's about the limit of text style I can actually stand. It drives me mad when people shorten the word 'come', or shorten words to the extent that you have to read it over a few times before you figure it out. [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]
