Is 'ne1' or 'thnx' really saving you that much time?

[No coincidences]

I'm so sick of text lingo and how mainstream/accepted it's become. Sheer and utter laziness at its finest.

[RudyRuetigger]

[RubberKettle]

I try not to use them, but some times its inevitable if the girl is trying to be cute.

If you are approaching the limit you should just call the person.

A theory of mine is that this is the main reason behind Americas obesity epidemic.

if i have 170 words to say to someone, most of which are articles or verbs, i dont wanna fukkin spend 10minutes on the phone asking how you're day is, hows life, and all the other bs just to ask my 1 question...and when someone calls me to small talk it pisses me off because i know there is only 1 main fukkin question anyway

I totally agree. Worst thing is that there is a whole generation of kids coming up that will have little if any true social skills. Most do not know how to communicate, or even interact, with a person face-to-face. Its pathetic.

And I'm sorry, but anyone who abbreviates anything besides a text (i.e. email) comes off as an immature, unprofessional kid. Any email I receive that has "lol", "lmao" or any other gay-ass abbreviation in it gets instantly deleted.

Opie, what if they type GL?

[samdapatriotsfan]

I have lots of girls in my family, I know about this.

[Doc JS]

U ppl need 2 wrry @ othr stuf...

[WvGambler]

I hate getting "lol" or text type in emails too. It's an admission of laziness and lack of self dignity.

If their pap's could only read these emails, they'd certainly receive a good whooping.

[opie1988]

Only abbreviations I allow are degener8 & fornic8.

......and, in the right circumstance, masturb8.

I agree.

If it isn't a text or even a tweet, you should spell everything out. There is no 140 or 160 character limit on emails or forums.

Stfu

Jk

[cant call it]

idk

[SATERSTYLE]

im also sick and tired of people being lazy, like when OP decided to use contractions instead of typing out the words "I am" and "it has". disgusting lazy pricks!!!

Hey onetrick: tell me how you really feel! Wow. You've got issues man.

You're missing the benefits of these shortcuts. The people using them are so lazy (and most likely immature and/or poorly educated) that you can actually discount the possibility that they'll offer anything of value to any future conversations. You can cut them off completely.

[laclippers504]

Lol. I know it bothers a heck of a lot of people
