It just occured to me that while seeing things like, "u r 2 weird" posted all around the internet bugs the HELL out of me, I still continue to used 'shortcuts' like "t'morrow" and "S'alright" and the like. It seems to me, then, that this in itself could be similarly vexing. Granted, on my side of things it's an attempt to "type as I speak," in which case I do tend to slur "tomorrow" and such. Still...
I haven't decided if I'm going to reform my online 'speach pattern' or not, but I'd be interested in anyone else's opinions -- (a) do things like "u r 2 weird" bug the hell out of you, too, and (2) is my tendancy to slur words and phrases online a bother which necessarily should be rectified.

Mom always laughs and says it's a good thing I'm not an English Major, because I break all the rules. I'm thinking, though, that I may have potential yet. ^_~

The occasional use of 1337 is fun, especially when I'm arguing facetiously(ie. butter is better than jelly because it's "|3\/7732," which is cooler than "j311!3"). I'd consider 1337 a different language because a)idiots can't read it. Yuo need to know a little about 1337 to understand it and 2)it 0wnz0rz j00. Also, it's fun to make fun of 1337 (see reason 2). Newbie speak's just that, though. I can't respect someone who thinks that's an acceptable way to converse when not using a cell-phone. It's ok with cell-phones because it's hard to type messages on one of those things.
