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

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
