There’s a fun, clever little website that translates the normal spoken word into text speak. It could actually save you money by allowing you to send shorter than normal messages; thus getting all the info into just one text.
Just go to Lingo2word.
Or in the way of text:

Text speak is awful. And incredibly hard to translate to normal english. Thankfully none of my friends use text speak extensively.0

Sorry, I can't stand text speak. The problem is this way of 'communicating' seems to be replacing the English Language more and more.
We should be promoting the English language, not dumbing it down.
Sorry, rant over.

I usually invent my own; it's more fun. I used "sposda" for "supposed to", which has less characters than their suggestion of "suposD 2"Murphy's No More Pies Club #209
