Most posts are intelligible to people who are used to seeing Textese and who have a reasonable command of English. However not everyone here uses Textese so will be confused by it and not everyone here has good English (that's why folk come here!) and they will find Textese impossible to understand.

Also people learning English may think that some Textese words are real English words and may take them into their vocabulary with unfortunate results later.

Incidentally there have been a few amazingly impenetrable Textese posts.
