Like I said I've become accustomed to using "ur" "2" (sometimes it's just so weird), 1, and all other nifty abbreviations, not because mesa so dumb can't spell full word, it's just so much easier to type a few characters less. Even if the save is just one or two. Same way I can call Xantar, Xanny even if they are one character shorter. But I take that as a sign of no one's intelligence.
Now if they make no coherent thought in their writing, that's a whole different ball game.

I agree bab.. I mean you all probably think that hero2 is not very brite because of the way he types on his computer. But I'll have you know he was only one semester shy of having his ccna before deciding to become a cook.. I know from time to time I spell things wrong but drop if you judge on the way a person types or on if they use abbv's to get their thoughts out. I don't think you'll make it in the corporate world
