ever since text messaging became huge back in 97/98 and people were limited to only 60 letters (now its like 200) i think, people started shortening words because they we're limited to the amount of letters and numbers they could write, text messaging isnt half as big in the US as it is in britian, partly because some networks make it stupidly hard to text message (some you have to connect to the internet before you can send one). and so the US have'nt been cursed by this terrible affliction, as of yet.
anyway, point is here, you are not limited to how much you can write, so there is no need to write like a retard.
it makes an arse out of you and your fellow countrymen
Oh let me tell you.. it has. At least people in UK have an excuse. Here, there's no excuse to talk like that.
Haha, your last sentance reminded me of, "Assume makes an ass out of u and me."

gotta agree, all of this text-language short-hand sucks. it might be quicker to type but it takes me bloody ages to read!
There are a few (nameless) members who's posts i can rarely be bothered to decipher, you're already sat on you're ass in front of a computer..... how much lazier do you want to be?!

The pen is mightier than the sword you claim.
Very well, get out your pens essay writers and prepare to have your logic tested by steel.
