Yikes, I agree with the lily!
I was hungry earlier, I asked the fridge what it had for me, I wonderdered why it was silent, then opened it and exclaimed "OICURMT".
I think there is something to be said for communicating clearly. Quite often, people use acronyms because they're too lazy to type the whole word, which means that people reading it either don't understand what was said or they have to ask before they do, which means more time is spent on an explanation than was saved by the short cut anyway. Sloppy typing causes the same problem, it's a bit like trying to communicate with someone vocally, but having difficulty because they slur most words. For some reason it's still (generally) considered "bad" to slur your words when speaking, but it's considered okay to be sloppy when you type. I believe that out of respect for whoever you are wanting to communicate with, you should use language as correctly and clearly as possible, I certainly do my best to use language as well as I can, some appreciate it while ironically, others are offended by it! It's sad to see our language decaying. Typoes are understandable and it would be unreasonable to expect everyone to have brilliant vocabularies, spelling and expertise in grammar, but wanton use of abreviations and acronyms is most selfish, especially when it is expected that many people will be reading what you've written.
Okay, call me an old prude too, soz.
