I got my first mobile a few weeks ago. Cos I can’t get a signal here, the text messages build up. I went to the big city this morning and there were about 28. Problem is, it’s like reading Swahili. What on earth is this chav txt spk?

Hi F2T? GR8. WAN2TLK? FYI IM GUD. Seems to be a fairly typical example of an instant delete from my bruv.

Then I try to reply and this predictive txting …well, I mean 2 say. You try to type ‘to’ and it wont let you – toucan, Toyota, torpalisamkazam, anything but flippin’ ‘to’. Thats cos yr ment to type ‘2’.

So do I have to get my burberry baseball cap, blue shell suit and airport trainers, loads of gold charm bracelets and a krugerrand the size of a manhole cover round my neck to be able to use this txt spk?

txt = text
spk = speak
GR8 = great
WANT2TLK = want to talk
FYI im GD = ?? ?? I'm Good

if yr trying to spell " to " and you get toucan etc, then it ust be on Dictionary, you need to disable it, so you can spell things yrself. Dictionary is when the n phone is trying to gjuess what yr spelling and if you press the down arrow key at this point then it gives you different words as yr options, best thing is to read the book , then get a friend to show you in person hpw it works
