I thought so too until I saw a kid in the office hunt and peck with 2 fingers on each hand. LOL must be easier for him than "That sure was funny." I don't know why typing wasn't mandatory in his school (frickin Harvard!). At some point this kid hunt-and-pecked his way through a master's thesis.

(You know who you are. If you read this email just know that I still value your hard work even as you type it wrongly.)

I think it's perfectly normal to be bothered by it. In the days of typing on flip phones, it was understandable... but when I'm using a keyboard I just don't see how it's easier than typing actual English words.

The boss has gone to always typing 'u' instead of 'you', Email, text and Instant message, he does it everywhere. It's like nails on a chalkboard whenever I see it. I realize that language is evolving https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPV64Y2JfZY <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPV64Y2JfZY> but this one just really bothers me.
