Massacre of the Filipino Language

With the advent of cellphones (and the limited characters for short message sending), people have resorted to "text-speaks". My eyes tear up when I see text messages such as this one:

"Je je je!  Nkk2wa k. Di q lam y u ngtxt s qin."

Ano daw?????

What's worse is when I see erroneously-spelled Filipino words that we have been taught how to spell since we were in elementary. This is how they are usually mutilated:

NAMIN (us) ---- NAMEN
HINDI (no) ---- HINDE
KULIT (annoying, naughty) --- KULET
SIYA (he, she - basta 3rd person) --- CIA
KAHIT (even if nga ba ito?) --- KAHET
PO (po/opo- to convey respect) --- POE (not the politician nor the late actor) or POH, and sometimes POEH (poehhhh???!)
AYYY (an expression, o linking verb ba ito?) --- Aiiiii!!! (Ha?!)



I would understand if the vowels and the double letters are sometimes removed in text messages to fit in one message. But the use of "Poh"?

Hey, I just noticed? Why do some people change the letter "i" to "e"? Does it sound more sosyal? Grabiiii!!! Maluwag ba ang panga ng mga Pinoy at Pinay?

Here's one post on Facebook that I saw last night:

Huwaaatttttt????

Kayo na ang mag-intindi.

Sa aking mga kababayan - Ang Filipino po ang ating pambansang wika, ang ating unang salita. Tinuruan na tayo ng tamang pagbaybay, pero tinatamad naman tayong sundin yung tama.  Ang lakas nating manlait kapag may isang kababayan na mali-mali mag English, pero sarili nga nating salita nakakatay natin.

Sana tayo mismo "mag-spell check" sa sarili nating gawa, hindi lang dahil sa ito'y tama kung hindi dahil ang tamang paggamit ng ating wika ay tanda ng pagmamahal sa ating bansa.
