Now I'm not talking about mistakes and misspellings, Just the use of numbers and letters in place of actual words.It's dumber than cow shite!
I trust the majority of "U" will concur-;)

Do the people type as if they're morons, or are you a moron due to your lack of understanding what is being typed and why it is being typed in that manner. The use of numbers &/or letters in the place of actual words is all about saving time as you type. It has absolutely nothing to do with someone's level of intelligence. So, obviously no, I do not concur..

As a reasonably comfortable typist, I think it's actually more time consuming to try to find ways of abbreviating...
It's just a fad, a new way of doing something for the sole purpose of setting one's self apart from others... And very tacky! Do it when you email your friends, but not when thousands of people will have to look at it! Kinda like picking your wedgies.

They are probably very young and just using this as another form of self expression, and then there are probably some that are just plain illiterate. And they are doing the best they can. God Bless.

I'm with you. I don't even bother answering questions written like that.
The state of education in the USA today is deplorable.

I'm not sure it's about being cute as much as it is a time saver. It does bug me, a lot.
