I cannot read posts like that. They frustrate me to no end. It seems strange that adults would type like that, very immature. I can see it being ok when your 15, but come on.

It's become commonly accepted slang for MBs, chat sites, etc. Similar to Valley Girl talk in the 80's Chat Icon What can you do?

I find it annoying, especially from an adult!
I see kids too doing this all the time, I wonder what is it doing to their spelling in "real" life?
Can't be good....

Ugh... I think it's more work to type/think in that format than normal so I just don't get why people bother. I can understand if you are texting because that is beyond annoying, but to write entire paragraphs like that!

The occasional short hand doesn't bother me though... for example using "u" for you... in a one line sentence is fine.

That would take me about 9999 MORE hours to type that out! I dont get it.

Must be a generation thing.

I've done that before I have no problem admitting it but it was like every word is shorthand.

Actually using "u" for you annoys me too. Other than the abbreviations on the site, ie MIL, dc, DH, I find most of shortened words annoying. "w." for with and "bc" for because is ok for some reason.Chat Icon
