Chatspeak, also commonly referred to as txtspeak since the advent of cell-phone texting, is a severe problem facing the English language. Chatspeak, essentially, dissolves the normal English language into a much-simplified form, using phonetics, numeric sounds, and 'unnecessary' vowels and punctuation as a basis for its development. As such, 'love' becomes 'luv', people becomes 'ppl', 'great' becomes 'gr8', 'like' becomes 'liek', 'it's' becomes 'itz', 'is' becomes 'iz' and 'adjudicate' becomes 'adjdic8'.

  • Chatspeak, also commonly referred to as txtspeak since the advent of cell-phone texting, is a severe problem facing the English language. Chatspeak, essentially, dissolves the normal English language into a much-simplified form, using phonetics, numeric sounds, and 'unnecessary' vowels and punctuation as a basis for its development. As such, 'love' becomes 'luv', people becomes 'ppl', 'great' becomes 'gr8', 'like' becomes 'liek', 'it's' becomes 'itz', 'is' becomes 'iz' and 'adjudicate' becomes 'adjdic8'. Usually used by fangirls expressing their love for a character, badfics guilty of horrible writing, and hilarious lolcat pictures. Guess which ones aren't condoned by the PPC. It has been noted that fangirls using chatspeak tend to combine it with Fangirl Japanese to create sentences something like this: "OMG LEGGY-CHAN IZ SOOOOOO KAWAII!!!11!!!one!!!1"
