OMFGLOLJKROFLMAO!!!!!!111!!!!!
Who types in this shitty AOL shorthand? On occasion I have heard grown adults claim that it’s “easier” to type “u r” than “you are.” How is that easier? In order for it to be easier you would have to develop the habit of unnecessary abbreviation at some point in your life. Either that, or you’d have to be in one hell of a hurry, or have a limited amount of space – neither of which would be applicable in an instant message situation. These sorts of abbreviations “lame AOL jargon” as i tend to refer to them, are maybe acceptable if you’re under the age of 13, but if I get one more myspace message from a 28 year old man that says “UR SO HOT! HOLLA AT UR BOI!” I am going to scream. After a certain point it’s like reading a foreign language invented by an idiot.

It’s even worse when I hear people say “OMG” instead of “Oh My God” (out loud). I mean, could anyone really be in such a hurry to have to abbreviate speech? I really don’t care much for the phrase itself, but come on now, if you’re going to say something, just say it and quit taking needless shortcuts.
