But... All your base are belong to us, haxor l33t?

My only issue is when I have to spend time deciphering what you meant.  I'm 
ok with the U's, I'm not ok with the sentences condensed down to text speak, 
and I never got the memo... 'IYKWIM'? What? hold on, let me get out my 
text-speak dictionary oh, 3 minutes later, I do know what you mean, good 
point, why didn't you just type that.

My 18 year old son can type crazy fast on his iPhone with two fingers... 
but he is crazy slow on a regular keyboard. LOL


Compare that with my 24 and 22 year old daughters, who are both crazy 
fast on a regular keyboard AND crazy fast on their iPhones. I can still 
beat them on a keyboard (just barely), but it's fun when we race. :)

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.

Re: [AFMUG] OT: Why does txt spk bother me so?

[Ken Hohhof]

Maybe assume he is abbreviating "Usted" which is the more polite or honorific 
form of "you" in Spanish.

In which case, you deserve at least a 20% raise.  Or he could go back to "you" 
which is short for "hey, you" and keep your pay the same.  It's up to him, but 
if you're an Usted, you  deserve to be paid accordingly.  It's a small price 
for all the typing he's avoiding, not to mention the prestige of having an 
Usted on the payroll.

You're old like me.  I can almost understand some abbreviation in text 
but when I see things like ur in emails or other more formal 
communications I cringe as well.   Even worse for me is when people 
actually verbally say things like LOL or that just TMI.
