For me nothing causes 'next' to be hit faster than SMS-speak or using
certain key "words". For example, I just don't read past the first
"I wanna".
Since phones all do predictive text-entry, I don't even see the point
of using SMS-speak it in SMS messages...

A lot of people really would benefit from a good old-fashoined typing
class -- the kind taught on real typwriters with paper and eraser by
instructors trying to prepare people for entry into positions where
typing correctly was your _job_ a couple mistakes in an important
letter could put you on the unemployment line).
