Why do people write "u"? (tiny rant)Follow

#1 May 27 2004 at 3:31 AM Rating: Decent
Why do people write "u" when writing the full word doesn't take so much more time to do and it makes you seem alot smarter. I'm not saying that people who write with this "drop all vowels or make the word as short as possible" are dumb, but writing normally makes you seem alot smarter somehow, although this totally may not be the case. Please, explain to me, why do people "typ lk diz, to mk u lk kool" or just normally with the you replaced by u. Its so annoying to read sometimes.

This was not a flame, and not trying to be disrespectfull for any of the people that do this, but I'm just wondering what the reason behind it is? Because trust me, if it is for looking cool, you're doing it entirely wrong.


Thank you.

And please post it above the thread that says "Don't use 'plz'" and under the thread that says "Is proper grammar and spelling necessary?"

Do I look like I care? At least I finally got my opinion out, something I was stuck with a long time.


And I dont see any of those threads.

Do I have to remind you that there are also people posting? who's native tongue isn't English, thus, can't make out the difference between your and you're?

Hmm, I wonder who wrote that. Oh yeah, you did. Hypocrite.

Do like the rest of us and learn. It's not hard. Easier to learn than most curse words. Promise.

There's a big difference between wanting to sound like an idiot with writing "u" and "plz" and not being able to properly write English because you're not English speaking.

By posting this on an online discussion forum, you are talking to everyone that cares to click on this thread. I'm sure that all of said people, including myself, are now highly dissapointed with the ***** they found. Do us a favor and stay in the sandbox.

You obviously don't know how the majority of Asylum posters feel about karma, Dean. We use it for ***** and giggles, and to get FFXI posters to leave us alone. Other than that, it's a flawed system and doesn't serve any real purpose.

Just ask Empyre about karma. I'm sure he can explain its flaws much better than I can.

It's nice you explain that. I don't think it really applies, he and I are not regulars here, I was just giving him a caution, IF he so cared about his precious rating. /shrug. ooo i liek that though, Dean. That's my last name, and it just recently dawned on me that all three of my names are first, middle, and well, last names. My mom I swear to christ...
