Excuse me for my ignorance, Somita, but what does "u n ur" mean???

I think it must be "you and your", but then, I could be wrong.

For I never understood, or even try to understand, what is the meaning of the new lingo known as text-speak...

[Ming]

"For you and your", it is.

I'm one of those people who type really fast and always in proper English even while chatting with my friends, and so they get a bit of a surprise when I suddenly start the text speak lingo when I sign in on my phone - I'm rather slow on the phone pad and can't stand the time it takes. So even if I do bash text speak online, I must say I use it sometimes - double standards, eh.

I must say, I can never use the phone pad (if I have a phone! I don't have one for me of course.) I just can't get used to it. That's why I haven't given even a single SMS to anybody! And I will never write in this lingo, it's just not me.
