'f u undrsntd dis tis gud

In today's world, what privilege do girls enjoy that boys don't?
No, not getting full marks even after writing A implies B, so B implies A.
But getting messages and orkut scraps which read
'hi. h r u u i wan frenz u. pl riply '. Just wish I had this privilege, so that I could reply 'I want to, but I cannot possibly frenz you'. I mean, there was this girl in yahoo, who would always, every single time start the conversation with 'hi. h r u?' In what way does it make her job easier, I do not understand. For all she knows, someone might as well interpret it as 'Haraami, are you?' And tell her foff hoping she understood what that meant. I do not intend to hurt, or mock at anyone who doesn't know, or it not proficient in English. It's about those who can write perfectly, still resort to 'k.ta. thnkq', instead of a word more 'Ok, thanks.Tata'. In a mobile (read sms) it's at least understandable, especially for people like me, whose thumb much to the irritation covers 4 keys, and a 'this' becomes a 'tits'. It adds to the comfort using a 'u' instead of a 'you'. But using fyne for fine, that too on a comp, as my friend D does, is surely a different case.

The one other thing that pisses me off in this is the convenient use and insertion of numbers. hi. 4m wer r u. gr8 to meet u . Why the hell do you want numbers to communicate or get a point across, when you have a zillion words? (Of course there are exceptions where numbers describe a situation very efficiently, like 'Hey, how was it yesterday?' can get a reply 'Was a 69').
I just don't get the rationale, if there's any. If people do it just for the pseud value, and feel that doing so makes them look cool, they're statistically stupid. (Yeah, I've done too much of stats last sem, I needed to use it somewhere). Of course, people change only when they have a self realization. Not that all this is wrong, it's just that I'm personally irritated, and blogger's been very nice to listen to me.

And yeah, if you're chronically affected by this, you'll probably end up typing a disastrous statement like 'b4 u cum here, i ll cum there', which can make/break relationships forever.
