aauugh! i hate that stuff..L8r and so on.. i have with long habit, learned words, and how to read them.. and i still mess up all the time, (and misread crossword puzzle clues, and other shorthanded text)
i have difficultly reading text that is rebus like with number and symbols in place of letters (like 8 for the ate/eight sound in the middle of later.
I like it here, where you guys are all so kind, and forgive my spelling errors where thing are writen, and i can read them.. (even if it takes me a reading or two to get some of the puns, and word plays)
i don't mind exploring the concept, since i see it as a valid part of language (there have been articles about teachers finding things like L8R or Be4 in home work and test essays,) but as a short discussion about LOL's shows, LOL's jargon, a coded language used in a specific context. and the meaning changes, (rapidly!) with time and context.
it does influence language and WORDS but please, lets not use it here!
