I understand its easier to say wtf then what the f*ck but have you all gone that lazy? I dont understand half a conversation because its all short hand. I WILL NOT talk to people that use it. Now a days with phones having keyboards really how hard is it to type a whole word instead of just a letter. In my opinion it makes you look less intelligent & lazy
lol ain't that the truth.

@AprilLove: Yea see i dont like that either. its very annoying :/ i can see why shorthand texting would annoy you. i suppose im just use to it.. but.. the people who have texted me know i only shorthand it when im at work or on the go.

I use SOME short hand. Like lol, lmao, w/ or w/o.. sometimes you might catch a omg. This was all the stuff that FIRST came out.. now its gone overboard & out of control.

Some people use it cuz there phone will only send 160 characters per text. Some use it to not make a text look so long, who wants to read a novel on every message? Its part of the world today, just how it is...just like sagging pants
