Here's a few examples.....you are, not ur. probably, not prolly. people , not ppl. Get it?
Ok, I'll pipe in here and say that I agree. I read some of the posts and wonder what the heck people are saying with the "thumbing" talk. I don't function well in that world. I have to look up most abreviations because I can't understand what most people are saying.

On a side note, I refuse to thumb messages to my kids. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I have the ability to dial the numbers and hear their voices on the other end.

English works for me. The invention of the keyboard was incredible and I try to use it to form complete words in complete sentences.
