I HAVE to abbreviate esp when taking notes. my hand would fall off if it tried writing everything out. and typing, well i guess i'm just lazy. i prefer to think of abbreviating as efficiency. but i don't like the "u" "r" "l8ter" stupid abbreviations. they are just obnoxious. cutting off words for the sake of brevity is one thing. typing like you are retarded is not ok
Yeah I pretty much feel the same way. I too can't bring myself to even use "u" or "r" when typing they both just bug me.
