To all those people out
there who spell three letter words with a
single alphanumeric character: It doesn't
save time, shut up. If you took the time
to spell "u" and "r" with more than one
letter, maybe you would know how to type
faster. I hate shorthand. It only makes
things hard to read and destroys and sense
of grammar you have. Despite what you may
think, it will have at least some effect.
Also, you shorten them less to save time
and more to make them look "cool," which
they do not. It makes the writer's brain
look less like a brain and more like a
shredded bag of illithid fetus throw in a
blender with the physical manifestation of
George W. Bush's personality. Smothered in
hot sauce, of course.
