I don't think we are on here to impress people.
So what if he uses u instead of you? or cuz instead of because?
So he looks stupid, is what... maybe you don't mind looking stupid, but most people do...
for ex:
hey guys u think i can borrow a dollar for a soda cuz i am really thirsty sorry for the trouble
bad grammar but i think most if not all can understand what i was trying to say.
Hey, if you're too freakin' LAZY to type out "Hey guys, do you think I can borrow a dollar for a soda because I'm really thirsty??", that's YOUR problem... but I wouldn't count on getting a dollar out of me if you can't do any better than THAT...
I mean, really, it must have taken me ten more seconds to type it out in ENGLISH than it took you to type it out in "text English"...
Stop sticking up for stupidity and/or good old fashioned laziness... the English language is dying here in America, and guys like you and RIB are killing it off... think of it this way, this forum is a good chance for you to practice the correct usage of the English language, and you never know when possessing that basic skill will help you get a better job, make a better living, have a better quality of life...
Guys who can't express themselves better than RIB has here these last coupla days couldn't write a decent resume if their lives depended on it...
