“OMG, when did we start talking like txt msgs?”
Wild guess: when we started texting.

Sarah Palin "used" it, but she was making fun of Obama's "Win the Future" slogan (WtF), playing on the general meaning of that acronym be calling his speech a "WTF" moment. Yes, it was a bit "salty", but it wasn't suggesting that it's something Sarah would use in normal conservation.

That was Barack Obama’s WTF moment. Sarah just pointed it out—and probably killed (if you’ll pardon the metaphor) Obama’s plans to introduce a spiffy new phrase to characterize his regime, in the tradition of the New Deal or the Great Society.
I suspect that Win the Future is now defunct.

I must be living in a cocoon. We have two teenage sons, both of whom text. I’ve never heard them or their friends talk in ‘text’. They write it, which saves them keystrokes, but they don’t say it.

But before you judge, note that former VP candidate Sarah Palin just used that one in a TV interview. And CNN's Anderson Cooper used it on his show the other night.
OMG like when did events on TV change the standards by which we should judge?

Back in the late 70’s I was big into CB radio. I would always get a chuckle when some of the people I would meet would talk in the same slang as they did on the air - “Got that, good buddy?” or “that’s a big 10-4.”
I guess txt talking is the successor to that.

Some of us used some of the misnamed “text message” abbreviations 20-30 years ago on email, usenet, and BBS.
