I was talking to a friend about these sort of things the other day. I got an email from someone who had used 'carnt' twice in the email then a text message from someone else saying they 'carnt' come out tonight.
I also remember getting a job application mainly written in text message speak and used @ instead of 'I worked at'.If At First You Don't Succeed, Call It Version 1.0
