it is possible. it is practical to use 'u' instead of 'you' if one is saving space and time, and as long as people understand it, the communication process is achieved. but as much as possible, we should avoid bastardizing the english language. it is a beautiful one.

Lord, I hope not. It would be another case of laziness triumphing over the beauty of the English language. Netspeak and netspelling drive me up a wall. Is it too hard to type the entire word out? Have we become that lazy?

I think the UK is in danger of losing it's grip on the English language to 'mobile text' chat spelling. Yes.
However, if schools insist on correct spelling and grammer, it should stay where it's useful, in textchat.

Not if you actually know how to speak the English language, seems a lot of people on her can't spell, or know how to use "spell check"

yes, in a decade or so we will no longer use full words. we will simply say letters or brief sounds and people will know what each other are talking about. in order to know all of the abbreviations, we will have to watch mtv all the time in order to understand each other since mtv has so much influence on language. in a hundred years or so we will no longer need words or sounds and we will communicate telepathically :)

Good grief, I hope not!! I hate when people use 'u' instead of 'you'. How much harder is it to type three letters than one? I think it makes people look lazy and ignornant when they use that 'text message shorthand'.

No, I'd hope not. It really doesn't take much effort to spell YOU or YOUR.
