E-mails make me laugh even more. Most of the junk I get is from other teens with messages like:
QUOTE(very stupid teen who needs to go back to school)
Hiya it me, i wa wondrng f u wntd 2 cht?

Now, translated into English with grammar.
QUOTE(normal teen)
Hey, it's <<insert name>>, I was wondering if you would like to chat?

As you can see, the second one is more readable and is, for me, easier to read. The first one however, took me longer to type and started confusing me, the one who was making it.

As I have said in a similar thread to this, it is people that don't take there time.

One of my pet hates is coz. It doesn't bother me to see it with full gramatical sentences (the way m^e does it), it is only annoying, when people are reckless.

For IRC/IM/SMS, I can see the relevance of l33t, but otherwise, it is just annoying.

People will always use it online, I think, and probably other places too. I heard that New Zealand started letting people use "language" like that on tests, they probably changed their minds though, where I live if on the standardized test you write "i" instead of "I" or "coz" instead of "because" and so on they'll take automatically take off a point (out of four) for the grammar part of your grade and that still doesn't get people to stop doing it on the tests.

I really hate it when people use these acronyms in emails, because their text count isn't limited like cellphone texting and it really seems like they don't care. Some people who go the extra mile and make a point of using every acronym in each email i mean how was i suppose to know that WEGFHSDY YRTYSDGS was even a well known acronym. To me this just shows that the person in question was just simply lazy and didn't care about taking the time to write grammatically correct sentences and paragraphs. Sure it's ok to use it now and again in the chat room, but even then it's kind of overused. For example "LOL" use to mean "laughing out loud," now it means "I really don't care about what you are typing, just want to say something to acknowledge your existence." In the forums i don't think it's ok to use these acronyms, just like in emails. It just shows that you are too lazy to write actual sentences. The only reason for anyone to be write these acronyms over and over is if their internet usage is charges by the hour or something like some Dial-Up Services or maybe and internet cafe.
