Uh, do you mean "tha", "u" and "y"..etc?

I do hate it, but I don't really care about it. Sure, if a person constently uses them I will remind them that this is the internet, they have all the time in the world to type something out. But I mean, if they use 'brb' or something along those lines, it's alright. Because that isn't used often.

Oh, and LOL is stupid. I say Bush passes a law that makes it legal to shoot anybody in the head if they use "LOL".

I will love him then.

Yes that is what I meant, but that would not be enough for me to like Bush

Once he makes it legal then you trick him online and teach him all the 'net lingo. Then he uses it and BOOM. No more Bush.

I don't like the slang that much, but that is more because I can't understand it.... ^_^

Also the things as brb I don't know too well, but they are ok, I am learning...

I don't particularly like text slang, but I don't mind it. People are naturally lazy. But what I don't like are those sticky caps. WhEn PeOpLe ThInK iTs CoOl To TyPe LiKe ThIs. It hurts my eyes.

But you know what amuses me? The word "hottie" is in the friggin' dictionary!

Spare me. I hate abbreviations, spelling errors, improper grammar, etc. People need to realize that a forum is not a chat room. There is no rush to type something, as Azure said. Please stop with the abbreviations. Spell things correctly. Use english grammar. Good.

i use the small abreviations alot but i cant stand grammar errors in a persons sentence. for Instance: Liek i was going ot this plcae and.... I mean come on i saw some post on diff websites that people had liek 15 errors in 2 sentences. It's like wtf are they 2nd graders?? I'll use brb say for instance i gotta piss real bad. Not gonna waste 2-3 seconds on saying it when 1 sec brb will do.
