Why are people so lazy that they can't even spell a whole word out? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I see this all the time in the real and on sites like these. People constantly use acronyms that half of us don't even understand and can't even spell the whole word out. Are people (especially the younger generation), really that lazy to spell out the whole dam word? It is so annoying when people do this.

I dont think we are lazy.. Why spell the whole word if u can understand it from a shorter one? (Like my U instead of YOU)

"Don't" is a perfectly legal contraction!

It is still an abbreviation

I do not classify don't as an offender because it's a contraction. Any acronym just shows signs of laziness because the person using the acronym is just too damn lazy to write the whole word out.
