After reading a couple of recent posts, I have had a moment of clarity. Going forward I refuse to take advice or consider seriously anything said by someone who uses U for you, or Ur for Your. I get that when texting keyboarding and message size key and I can live with it in that regard. But seriously people, if you can type in a paragraph about the virtues of one product over another, are the extra 2, 3, or 4 letters going to kill you? I don't want to be the language or spelling police here, god knows how many errors I've made here in this post.

Akin to taking advice from someone who shoots over 90!

text messages have a character limit so some people use slang/shortened words to fit inside the limit. i do this often. most people just use it because they are lazy.

In a text thats fine. In a two paragraph post where they have spelled out other words fully its just stupid.

I actually 100% agree with you. There are a ton of stupid people in this country and they seem to flock to the internet. The worst is when they're selling a big ticket item in the B&S with poor grammar and word choice. You have to be pretty dumb to even consider buying it, IMO.

Not if they type U and UR? ;)

Darwin is dead. Those folks won. If you need proof, hang around your local Walmart.
