I can understand using it on a phone as you only have a certain amount of characters to use. But I find it a bit of a lazy thing to use if you have no problems with reading or spelling generally. (Obviously people do have problems like Dyslexia but they strive to overcome them.)
And I can't understand when they use stuff like KK instead of OK. Same amount of letters but my daughter says it's easier as you don't have to change keys!!! So that sort of text speak is laziness. imho.
