If you’re like me and you type your text messages in full sentences, compelte with Capital letters and punctuation, text speak or to give it the correct name, txt spk, might leave you pretty confused.  Whenever I receieve a text from the boys (or from my friend Nerolee), I have to translate it and sometimes, I have to look up the word on the internet.  So to make my life (and yours) easier, I’ve compiled a list of smiles and txt spk phrases from various places on the internet and now it’s all in one place and hopefully it’ll help me understand what the boys are saying!  (Though I’d prefer they just used plain English!!)
