I can use these abbreviations and shorthand methods only while smsing and chatting. y refrain from using it....it helps u write faster and i think it helps to increase dexterity...it's helped me. Although it's bad if u use it all da time cuz some of my friends write  shorthand in their papers too.(sad) Even though it is understood w8 they mean they r not given marks..haha..they spend a lot of time on the messenger and facebook,no wonder im better off....so loyal to the forum...no social networking sites for me.

Personally, I find it quite annoying when it's over used. I figure, if you're gonna be on the computer for so long, why not learn to type? I stopped using stuff like "u" and "ur" all the time because once I was in an exam and instead of writing 'you' I subconsciously wrote "u"-I was so shocked from then on I basically never use it!  ;D I also find it, when someone is writing a long passage and OVER-uses it with all their this and dats, they sound like someone who has a lisp (when I read it silently in my head) and it gets on my nerves-the occasional "u" is fine with me, but when it's used too much, it gets on my nerves...

Okay sure-I'll use it when texting and maybe sometimes on MSN when I'm eating something and only have one hand-but other than that, I try to write as correctly as possible (and please point out any grammar mistakes I've made Enia  :P)
 :) :)

Why do people write lyke instead of like? It is the SAME number of LETTERS. No, it does not make you look "cool". You look like an idiot period.  ;D
