No, simply because the amount of letters is the same. It takes no more effort to type out "going". They both have 5 letters.

Gonna is short for going to, not going

Ebonic hell no. I do use abbreviated words such as ppl.
Posted on 9/12/15 at 12:07 pm to tiggerthetooth
No. I absolutely refuse. Especially with predictive text.

Texting is a simple form of communication so why not make it easier with things like "r u". Bc (another one) ur thumbs stay at the top of the screen and u r able to type faster... I dont have time to make sure grammer and shite is correct. Im texting for a reason already. If it needs to be formal then u shouldnt be texting. Those are things u email.
Posted on 9/12/15 at 12:19 pm to tiggerthetooth
Nope. I don't use "ain't or yall" either. Ebonic and Redneck speak are for the poors.

So you think its faster to type "grammer" instead of "grammar", and that its not efficient attempt spelling correctly or use proper grammar unless you're sending an email?

Only ironically.
Posted on 9/12/15 at 1:24 pm to Rouge
No indeed not. I can't stand when people text like that.

You are correct. Punctuation is everything.

Why'd you put a comma between that and lazy?
It was correct originally.
