what r u talking 'bout?

[jackofallgeeks]

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.  ^_~

...that is, done with the express intention of fixing it before it 'goes to press,' you might say.

Well yes, I fix them up nice and proper before they reach the eyes of anyone else. That's one reason why I'm hesitant to let people read what I've handwritten: I often have notes and scratched out portions and shortcut phrases that not everyone will understand. Or worse, some might think that's how I really write, but I only do it because my hand will start to hurt after a while and it seems to be my way of giving it a break. ^__~
