i am gonna have to agree with penguru there.
i am desensitized to the writing style cause i have a lot of asian friends and i am used to all the zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's and xxxxxxxxxx's that they somehow manage to sneak into an ordinary conversation.
frankly i think its just stupid.
it cant be noticeably faster to speed type or whatever so just take the extra 3 seconds per post and make yourself sound like you know what you are talking about.

It may be faster for you to type u instead of you but it takes many of us longer to read it because it makes it more difficult to parse. Why? because it's not part of the language we're using to communicate.
If you could put in the extra effort to actually try and spell basic words properly, it saves time for everyone reading, and doesnt make you look like as much of a damn fool.
There's case one, where you save a few seconds, and the many people reading your posts lose a few, each...
And there's case two, where you lose a few seconds and we all get some back because your posts are coherent... I think the preferable one is obvious.
Do whatever you want, but don't be surprised when other members give you responses you don't like.
u r not going 2 get very far communicating like thiz, doz u understandz me yo?
it simply does not make much sense.

Yes I'm a hater.
I hate Phinsup for not sending me an autographed pciture. I hate everyone who has a turbo on general principal cause I DON'T HAVE ONE. I hate Vosko in particular cause he's got more cool toys then I do. I hate UniqueTII cause he corrects my code. I hate 9Base3 becuase...well I mean he IS 9Base3.
I don't hate Bigtime, he's too l33t to hate.
I used to hate TurboVR6 but his signature stunned me so badly I forgot I hated him. Oh wait...
