I would probably post something in netspeak for a chuckle, but I am woefully incapable of doing so, owing to how much of my cognicent brain is taken up with the ability to speak the Queen's English correctly. I may muff spellings when I'm typing too fast on IM late at night with pretty ladies, but I am sufficiently versed in the English language, and thus have not yet found a rational reason to master leetspeak, pig latin or Esperanto. I'm not even particularly good at French, though I studied it for a few years.

And besides, it's so much more effective to compliemnt and woo a woman of distinction in full sentences and flowing prose that can be read aloud to girlfriends and grandchildren when they make your life story into a biography for theatrical release.

ETA: Oh yeah, and I don't have a cellphone, so no text messaging anyway.
