I topped the class for English in highschool yet I have no problem with the net talk.

What I don't understand is why people get so uptight about it.
Is it becuase you can't understand it? if not, then there should be no reason why you can't abbreviate.

for example:
people = ppl = easy to understand and much quicker to type
y = why = also easy and fast to type.

its a little easier on the fingers to abbreviate sometimes. I fail to see why some people make an issue about it. Sure there are some who over-use abbreviations to a point where yes, the post IS unreadable. But that just comes down to that person often using MISPELLED abbreviations and so forth, or perhaps just an idiot?

anyway my point is, flame where nessessary, but this shouldn't be an issue. I like to abbreviate, but I don't on this forum becuase I hate online flaming.
