@gailcalled Do you text? Making the effort to switch the keyboard, or hold down a second key, like shift or symbol, just takes too much time and effort. I’ll usually becomes ill when I text because almost always it is easily understood by the context on the sentence, although, I do admit that is the one word I sometimes make the effort to correct. Wont, is not commonly used by my peers and won’t is never mispelled. I have never seen someone write won’t oustide of texting without the apostrophe. What I mean is when someone writes wont instead of won’t it clearly looks like textspeak and not ignorance or bad spelling. When someone writes its instead of it’s you don’t know if they just don’t know how to use the apostrophe. Still, in textspeak I would not be critical, especially if they shorten many words. Plus, people just become accostumed to shortening words and not others. Becomes habit. Between my husband and me, I sometimes use a Spanish word, because it is shorter when texting, and we basically only speak English with each other. The other day writing sala was much more convenient than writing out living room.
