All Too Much...

Excess? No, X.S!
Text-speak jargon for the young.
Mobile mania.

    Text-speak irritates me but slowly I am being worn down . . .

    Cool! Nice to learn some jargon here in your poem. My daughter texts me all the time and I realize that the text-speak really helps the writer when they text by cutting down on words. If only I knew more. But I'm learning.

    :) I seldom text because I constantly have to have messages explained to me.

    I don't like how text speak is creeping its way into everyday writing. Even when I text I spell out.

    Mobile mania - quite apropos a description for life on the go. Or life lived to excessive speed - or is that X.S.V.?
