Shorthand Typing

When people who are using a full qwerty keyboard are too lazy to type all the letters in a word. Commonly used in emails, forums, blogs and text messages.

I can never understand why people use Shorthand Typing like this:
'plz' instead of please; 'jst' instead of just; 'cuz' instead of because; 'dat' instead of that, and so on.

internet shorthand

Def: the way lazy people type for IMs, texting, email, and other forms of cryptic writing

I just rather call it that because not everyone is 31337

I feel like no one respects the English language anymore, just by using internet shorthand like: omg, wtf, n00b, lol, srsly stfu, ttyl, etc.

Verbal shorthand

The language used by drunken people when they wish to communicate with the sober. In order to understand verbal shorthand, one needs to also be drunk. While traditionslly applied to the drunk, "verbal shorthand" can also be used to describe the communication efforts of persons affected by other mind-altering substances in addition to alcohol.

My husband rang me from the pub, but I couldn't understand him because he was talking verbal shorthand.
