I disagree with this.
Considering your words are pretty much all you have on the internet ( gaming/home included) you would think you would want to utilize every word you can and spell correctly while doing so. Look how ALOT of people type here on the forums. "HLP M2 PLZ, I ND HELP WIT PS3!!!"
Its disgusting and an abomination to not only the english language, but every language.
I DONT want to communicate with someone who types "ok gr8 c u thr" I know you 12 year olds love the shorthand text type, but its horrible.

I agree. I'm glad I haven't fallen victim to the text message generation.

This would be fine for text messages via cell phone. I personally get sick of seeing these shortcuts littering my tv screen. Just get a keyboard, it's faster and more legible.

Even when I text on my phone I don't type like this. I still write out everything.

same here..
when I get phone texts I always spell my words out. If it takes someone 15 seconds to type "text shorthand" style, then whats the harm taking an additional 15 seconds to spell or atleast make an attempt to spell everything correctly using full words?
Yes I make spelling errors,,but "text shorthand" is really pathetic.
