English...

I know it is popular to type words like "you" and it's kind in shorter way as "u" and so on. But it gives very bad feeling about writer and it makes more harder to read them, search messages or even find them via google.
So wouldn't it be much nicer if all would forget those *stupid* lame words in messageboards and even try to type good english?

There's more errors than that in his post.
I believe the original topic was about shortening words even knowing how to write the full words though.

im ok with some of it as in you becomes u, but stuff like u3er and other "text speak" is acually more difficult to read
