It is not surprising with all this American garbage Australia is flooded with (second only to Chinese). So we've started spelling just like them too and soon will have the whole generation fully "americanised" Confused

Actually Shifu, you can now find studies of text speak in Universities... it is considered a new language. each different written language is adapting to this "shortened" version just dilluting or morphing the previous written language. As technology gets more complex and commincation get greater in volume the quality is dramatically decreasing. Then add to that the auto correct option nearly every system incorperates, we end up with what seems like an illiterate generation but in actuallity it's developed it's own language.

Yeah, it is probably because they haven't learn how to write in English by the time they got into an University.
New language so the dumb&dumber can understand their SMS's.
