You type like one of those frequent text-messagers. Anyone who uses "u" should be punched in the face.
I translated my text to SMS. Chill.

Says the person who contracts they're and saves a single character in the process.

I hate the process in settings such as a online forum like DSLR as it does nothing but make a message harder to read or search on. But when you have 160 (or less) characters to get a message through, you save everywhere you can.

This s so silly. You pay for fone service but instead of calling sum1, u spend extra money 2 txt them.
Yeah texting is stupid. There's no practical use for it that you can't also use the phone the conventional way. It only serves to distract kids in school and also help them cheat on tests.

And doesn't abbreviating alot make you dumber?

Not the only thing text messages are for. Work sends me a message at certain times. with this I dont have to call in all the time or check the website to see when I'm going to work.

Its a great feature when you have to talk with women. You just text them the info and your golden. If you had to call, it would take you at least 10 minutes of discussion for the same thing.

With my Tmobile message plan I pay $0.0125 per message. Without a message plan its $0.15 per.
