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.

Shorthand

Shorthand typing.

Usually used in online games and instant messengers like AIM.

The person that is 'shorthanding' usually types messages with many fragments and errors, and no punctuation either.

Idiot: hey guyz wat up

Smart Person: Cool, what did you do there?

Shorthand

A style of typing that noobs need to stop doing because it's driving people mad with their insensitivity of using poor spelling. It's useful in school and college to get notes down faster, but a major cause for murder when used to talk to people on the internet. The people that usually use shorthand on the internet like AIM, MSN or whatever are usually people that don't know how to fucking spell or write clear sentences. It's rare if these people DO know how to spell. Also, it's fucking annoying having to squint at the computer screen trying to make sense of something that looks scrunched together or looks like it came from another planet. The English language is the 2nd most used language in the word. Please, noobs, try not to fuck it up with your annoying use of shorthand. It's driving the world insane.

Noob: yo, waddap dawg. hw u do n?
Human: I'm doing fine.
Noob: wna hnq out sumtym? lyk @ da moves?
Human: Ugh, I'm sorry can you please type regular? I can't understand.
Noob: i em typin rglar. izz sumtn rong?
Human: Oh, my fucking God... Your shorthand is killing my eyesight.
Noob: nah, chll homee. i got disz undah cntrl.
Human: What the fuck are you saying like seriously? You are giving me a fucking headache. I think I'm going to have a brain hemorrhage because of you.
Noob: wuts dat? bryn hamrge?
Human: Oh, my God.. That's it I'm out.

Human has left the conversation.

Noob: yo dawg? u der?

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.
