Why using "u" in place of "you" is a bad thing.

Oh dear…

ROFL @ teh statement saying that they won’t use a certain saying because ppl mite not understand it n how that is teh same as im-speak. How could some1 confuse u n you??!?!?!?

Next time I see you I’m totally bashing your head in with a dictionary. :slight_smile:

ne1 no y u never use im speak?
Cuz its fuckin’ stupid.

ugh that shit isn’t even acceptable in IMs, emails, and text messages. Take the time to type one or two more letters you piece of shit.

F-, u fail, git teh fuck out ma class

truth

people are always saying my im’s and txt’s are too long. Im sorry i like to make sure my message is concise and clear. :bloated:

I’ve tried to stray away from the whole lingo of using “u” or numbers instead of letters ie) some1 instead of someone. (Thanks mike for always complaining haha)

using ‘u’ in text messages is fine. I used type everything out, but when they were uber long and I wanted to keep it all in 1 message, I’d go back and shorten some stuff. Now I just don’t give a shit. Text messaging is a pain in the ass, but I still use it all the time.

Wut, wit, da, cuz, ec. are never acceptable. Anyone who uses those words EVER needs to be stabbed. Writing that shit in essays now? C’mon :wink:

Thats what it says there.Maybe your binary is’nt up to date fuzzy ?

:lol:

And :word: to this whole thread. Seriously, if I fail the GMAT’s I’m blaming all my time wasted on NYSpeed for bringing down my reading comprehension and writing skills.

Personally, I prefer “us”, as in: us guys better be careful at the roller rink tonight!

I manually decoded it, I apparently was off by a one bit. Would explain why I couldn’t figure out the last letters. Thus this is why we don’t read binary.

Wut us talkin bout Willis?

somebody should tell Prince…

“But most students realize that they need to put their adolescent spellings behind them by the time they get to college.”

:lol:

“Most.”
