It is sometimes irritating to me when people use too much of chat/text message/SMS lingo in e-mails. It is acceptable to me when you are chatting to me or sending me an SMS but, even in your e-mail? In the screen-shot of the e-mail that you see on the side, you will find a very bizzare langage used by one of my friends. I have edited the rest of the texts for privacy and left only the most outrageous one. This guy used this so religiously that he eventually forgot the real english. He forgot how to spell "FRIENDS" since he is so used to "FRENS" instead. How pathetic? I do use the chat lingo but, only when I chat. Some people just take it too far. Let me know if you understand what he is trying to say. The most funny part was the word "thin", take a look at the picture to understand. I was tolerant to this in the beginning but, I do not know why, I am starting to hate it. Type in english dude, I don't wanna see how talented you are in your conservative complex word formation.
Here's an article from the Wall street journal, a very good example of such a tragedy. Hmmm(sigh)...
