What annoys you most in text speak?

When you're texting or e-mailing, what annoys you most when talking with people? Are you annoyed by bad grammar, caps-lock, emoticons, one word replies? Anything! I would like to know, please share.

    Non-existent punctuation, horrible spelling and grammar, and one word replies in an email.

    The most annoying part is the part where I have trouble reading the words.

    But what's worse is that I was chastised for using text speak and being called stupid, and if I see someone else do that... I almost feel like saying "hey there are people out there that will look down on you just because you write like that".

    bad grammar, one word replies; i guess it depends? Because I'm always using my phone when I shouldnt, so when I text, I text as fast as I can and when I have a chance I usually apologize and say "sorry i was at work!"

    People who completely ignore the email. Failing to acknowledge that it was even received.

    I get annoyed by misspellings...my bf misspells things *a lot* and it slightly annoys me...a lot. But that's about it!
