You have to use 140 characters or less, so people that use twitter often get used to typing like that. Get over it.Originally Posted by Zekyl
you haven't seen twitter before, have you?
It's all very rushed sentences.
This is about as far as I delve into the social aspect of the internet. I have no use for twitter.

People are typing from cell phones as well.
I predict the English language will adapt. "4" and "u" will be formally recognized synonyms for "for" and "you" by the great dictionaries.
It wasn't until the advent of the Gutenberg press that the common spellings we recognize came into being. It was the typesetters of the day as much as the authors of the great texts of the day that determined spelling, often for reasons as pragmatic in their time as "typing u for you on cramped keyboards at cramped data rates" is today.
I just learned that with my new Crackberry. It's a pain in the arse, especially whilst driving on the highway on the way to/from work, too.Originally Posted by Uncle Mxy
