While I'll admit I do like spell check, since I can't spell worth a crap at times. Thank you deslyexia (spelling?) for that. But yeah it drives me bat shit crazy seeing people type "u" instead of "you", or "da" for "the". I normally can figure out what people are saying when they do the chat speak stuff. The only things I'll really tollerate being sent to me in a text or chat speak is lol (because laugh out loud is a bit much to type out), WTH, WTF, IDK, and a few others. Some are due to the lenght of typing them out, the others are more for polite people who really don't want to swear.

I admit I use chatspeak sometimes, like the basic ones like "lmao, lol, wth/wtf" eccetera, but yes I have the same problem with italians 😭I was born in the US and I lived there for 9 years, my dad did make me learn Italian when I lived there but I went to school and speaked English, and now that I live in Italy, I speak better Italian than some of my classmates- they spell wrong basic grammar like "hanno/anno" (have/year) and will end up saying "they year..." it drives me lowkey crazy to be honest.
