Can anyone help me find a “Texting” Dictionary to understand some of the words on here?
I always come across words I never even knew existed. For instance, rele = really, gr8 = great. In addition, the word “u” is spelled with three letters, Y-O-U. This is not a “texting” domain folks. I am using a keyboard that has each letter on a different button. Unlike a phone, I do not have to press one button 3 times to get a letter to make words. Each letter is printed on each key to make it even easier.
Don’t get me wrong, I love coming here to aid in helping others with their problems. I also love to come here and pose some questions myself. However, in order to help you and me further, I need to be able to understand what you are saying.
Is there anyone who can help me understand this drastic generational gape in language?

And so on. Its a lot easier than spelling out all of those words.
I suggest that if you can’t read a question don’t bother trying. In general “texting” language is simple. It can be sounded out easily.
