Chat slang

I tend to use some abbreviations when chatting. And I make spelling mistakes when chatting too fast, but I don't have the 'new chat slang' yet.

My grandfather on the other hand...
"anders geen nuus??

ik ben ziek
Alfons Coppens 25/02/07 10:48
wat hedde ??"
and
"maar kan ik da niet van in t begin van da blad laten afdrukken zodat ik er twee op da papier krijg ??"

Notice the 'speaking' is turned into 'written' with a similar pronunciation.
It is funny to see how they all do it: youngsters and seniors. (and inbetween)
