the shorthand spellings of "shud, wud, prolly", etc, or do you also do it?

I absolutely hate that!! It's a big pet peeve of mine. It's an abuse of the English language. Whenever I see a question with those stupid shortcut spellings, I very nicely correct them. Lazy people.

I have a few I like and use, not because I'm in so big a hurry but because I very much like the look & sound of them... they're prolly, kinda, sorta, y'all (yes, I know some people hate that one! But I lived in Texas for several years, loved it there so I like this kinda as a reminder)), there might be one or two others I can't think of right now. I don't think they're that much different from using contractions. But most of the time I don't do it, I didn't even know 'shud' and 'wud'.
When others use them I barely notice, unless a question or an answer is so littered with typo's or MSN speak that it is hard to read. I just assume it's a typo or contraction, my eyes will correct it without even thinking about it. I don't spell out every word; it's like the little joke/trivia thing where people say you only really read the first and last letter of the word, and if the rest are mixed up you can still read the message... I guess I read more like that so a single word that's spelled wrong, whether on purpose or by accident, doesn't phaze me.

WHAT are shud wud and prolly? I am serious. This is something I MUST know. Don't make me ask a question...I am living to be level three!
PS....I hope this doens't make me a shud wud or prolly. They don't sound like good things

It annoys me sometimes, I don't generally do it myself either.
