I had some students email me and their emails were written like that. I told all of them I felt like giving them automatic Fs for not only using "text talk" in regular email, but for thinking that it was okay to email a professor using that garbage.

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I was shocked to learn some classmates of mine wrote to their professors like that. I was so embarrassed for them.
Some people I was working with on a group project would send e-mails with "text talk." I quit trying to read their shit. It made my head hurt. Why would anyone want to be thought of as a moron?

Even if I'm sending a casual e-mail to a friend, it doesn't look like text talk! My sister sometimes sends me e-mails a little lacking in capitalization, but I know she would never send that to a professor.

I do that too, but when I'm speaking with a familiar person (Facebook, family e-mails, etc.) and I know I've left some posts around here with hardly any sense of proper grammar and English... Sorry guys 
I'm so particular that I even use capitalization and proper punctuation in my texts to brothers in my fraternity.
On topic however, I feel like I should include this gem from my feed:
Cap'n Tony Showtime Terry Shoutout to everyone that Breath smells like Jellyfish Colon in church and gotta nerve to ask the Preacher to pray for them.The Preacher smells that Colon Breath and says U look like something else is troubling u after u told him whats wrong
wtf?

I feel like making this my newest update: If you don't understand what I'm saying or are going to make a reference that has nothing to do with what I'm saying just to write on my page, don't @#$%ing comment on my status. KTHXBYE.
Oh, and if I delete something you wrote...don't write it again.
