Does not explain why you are intolerant to another 'form' of abbreviating. The truth is sir, you have a pet peeve that is hypocritcal in the english language. | ||

There are solid rules to the English language, as well as bendable ones. One of the solid rules is that "U R" is NOT proper english. It's used out of laziness, because the letters "U" and "R" sound like "You" and "Are". This is SLANG. Slang is NOT proper english. Please get your info straight before argueing  | ||

I try to let girls a bit more slack on this though. btw: can't is an english contraction following the rules of contractions "U R" is neither an abbreviation (you starts with a Y and are with A) nor a contraction without the apostrophe and being two separate characters as well. I am intolerent to this stupid form of abbreviating because it is not part of the english language. If you want to speak a bit of "english", speak it. If you want to speak "stupid", go kill yourself. | ||

So far though, one thing was proven to me, you guys are overly angered by internet slangs. Which by the way, is common language... and no where nearly as awful as you make it out to be. Further more, i bet everyone that has spoken out about hating online slangs has used LOL. If you say you havent ill be forced to believe you a liar. | ||

SoMuchBetter - he just used "btw" yet another form of online abbreviation. You maiing an argument against yourselves... you all use these online abbreviations. And you getting pissed off at me for comparing a contraction (which in my opinion is mainly used out of a LEARNED for of laziness), with a online abbreviation which i clearly stated i know is improper. I seriously think you guys need to flame elsewhere. | ||
