SPELLING? Yes. "Lyk" and "wud" are terrible. And also kind of outdated imho. That's how people in the 2000s spoke.
GRAMMAR? Sorry I don't give a single fuck. If you consider that most of our colloquioal speech is not "gramatically correct" to begin with, it's really quite silly and elitist to insist that standard should apply to texting. There are ways in which "text speak" conveys meaning that normal words can't. Linguistics, man.
Do you get annoyed reading text with bad grammar?
