Anybody else annoyed with textspeak?

I sometimes have a hard time reading my friends' text messages. Especially now that most smart phones have qwerty keyboard options. I don't understand why words such as "kasi", "dito" and "nakakatuwa" have to be written as "kc", "d2" and "nkk2wa". Anybody else find this annoying?

I also find it not only annoying, but also quite difficult to comprehend.  Whenever I text with someone, I always spell out the word as far as practicable.  Writing in textspeak is prevalent not only in text messages, but also on social media sites such as Facebook at times.  I am having difficulty trying to decipher what the words in textspeak mean.
