In a recent study conducted by Drouin&Davis (2009), the authors used the term ‘textspeak’ explaining that it is a form of written language that involves use of acronyms, symbols representations, and language mechanics that include capitals, vowels, and punctuation marks. For example, the words thanks would be written as ‘thx’. Similarly, the pronoun ‘you’ would be written as ‘u’ in textspeak. The authors further explained that this form of abbreviated spelling can be likened to the invented spelling of youngsters just learning to spell.
