it's time to start a rant about this.
it's been pestering me for several months now.

It has come to my attention that many people on the Internet have resorted to reducing the word "for" to 4; reducing the word "you" to "u", the sound "ate" to "8"; and so on.  There was a time when I used to do this, but now, it seems completely illegible and unintelligent.  How much longer does it take to spell out two more letters in a word?  Unless you're an incredibly slow typer, I think that there really is no need for doing this.

If you think that this is cool, kudos.  There are many other people who share my opinion, and others who completely disagree.  This action makes me believe that you are not yet mature enough to recognize the need for self-presentation in front of others.

Don't say "oh, you have really bad grammar too".  Read my posts carefully.  Although I don't use proper punctuation sometimes, look at my word and sentence structure - if I'm not mistaken, I usually don't make huge mistakes in my sentences.  For some people, it has become a habit of using one-letter words in posts, but I assure you that I only misspell words on purpose, or when I am in a complete rush.

I understand that many of you will oppose my opinion.  I'm not trying to criticize you; I merely wish to notify you of my feeling when people start talking like "haha is that ur brother, hes sooooooo short!!!!!!!!!!!!".  This kind of posting bothers me, I'm not sure why, but I will get a very bad impression of in the future.  I'm sorry if this offends you, or makes you uncomfortable in any way, as I don't mean to do that.  The only purpose of this was to, once again, notify you of my thoughts.  What do you think?

I do agree with you. Grammar is becoming worse and worse! I think we are two of the very few people who still spell correctly.

No, I didn't write that.  Just the error message.  Or... you know what I mean.
