why oh why

why does everyone use word short cuts?
do you not realize it makes you seem lazy.

[c=#4C0073]what annoys me is the complete improper use of English .. I mean some grammatical errors and such is acceptable, but the habitual use of wrong words is annoying ..

For example "i would of done it" .. that is sooo annoying[/c]

Same reason people don't use capital letters.

I consider myself pretty lazy, but for me, trying to recall what the shortcuts even are is more difficult than just typing out the long way.
If we're going to use English, let's use it. If we're making alterations to it, fine. But it seems so arbitrary on which words are chosen for such.
Don't know why not capitalizing the first word of the sentence doesn't irritate me while the use of "ur" does. And I'll support the shortening of "though" since the "gh" has no sound input for that word.
Our language is messy, yes. But that's why it can be used to make some powerful speeches and pretty poems.

Even worse are esoteric abbreviations, where people arrogantly assume that everyone knows them.

I dont get it either. It makes me think that they cant use proper grammar or spell anything at all

"Tho" seriously y'all can't put 3 more letters on "Though"

My biggest annoyances are the overuse of U and R. I mean, it's 2 letters difference. How lazy can a person get!? Lol!
