I didn't understand the OP due to it being a strangely compacted variant of, I assume, Spanish.
So I'll answer whatever question is floating around in my head:
Yes, I will put pesto AND parmesan on.

Don't confuse the well used and abused acronyms of internet communities with the crumpled words of txt spk.

True but txt spk was first used on the internet as a way to make messages easier to type. Trouble is it found its way into widespread usage and is now practically indecipherable.

Those that can, do; and those that can't, talk about it.

Eh? The clue's in the title. It was first used on mobile phones to fit longer messages into the 160 character limit imposed by mobile phones. Some people have adapted this, however into the indecipherable text you see plastered about myspace and facebook, because people think its "cool".
Its much easier to deliver text via typing it fully. By the time you've learnt how to type, typing normally actually uses less time than trying to shrtn ur wrdz init.

Re: How Is Everyone Then?
The name was changed. Anybody who has used AOL messaging will know exactly what i mean. The basic form evolved from shorthand used in internet chatrooms because they used to impose very tight restrictions on messages to preserve bandwidth much the same way that phone carriers do now with SMS.
And, as said before, it was then mangled into what we have today.

Now you're confusing txt spk with OMG AOL KID SPEEK LOLZZZZ!!!!!11!!!11!!!
The internet abbreviation form uses acronyms or initialisms of sentances, LOL, HTH, BRB, etc. These aren't used for save character space, simply to save time when typing common, regularly used, phrases.
Txt spk on the other hand uses letter removeal and substitution to acheive smaller words, thus allowing more to be said within the 160 character limit. Mate for example, becomes m8, reducing 4 lettes to 2. Txt spk is actually not as quick to type on a computer keyboard as typing the proper words is, due to the numbers involved not being arranged within the commonly used letter area.

Re: How Is Everyone Then?
Word of the Day : Prevaricate
Often used in with reference to comments such as "Of course we have the installation notes, we just want to double-check which server the database is installed on."
I am fine. The support "engineer" (I use that term about as loosely as is possible to get) on the phone is not, as I keep referring him to the documentation he is supposed to have got for our digital dictation installation; which he manifestly hasn't got. It's gone 4pm, I should be on my way home already...
