I guess you could I say I am worried about the future, and I want to know why people shorten and abreviate words that are easy to spell in the first place. This is merly to soothe my curiosity, and if anyone calls that complaining, well, they can go shove it up their ass for all I care.
As far as I can tell, it seems most people shorten words and use abreviations to save time or make it easier to type. All fine and good; if that is what they want to do, I sure as hell won't be their mother and say they can't. But is it really worth looking like an idiot to save a few seconds off your life, which you are probably going to spend on the computer anyway?
PS: I am not a perfect speller, jesus christ. We all make mistakes
