Only lazy people use abbreviations when typing. I'm mostly irked with I see people use kk in place of OK or Okay. I mean, dafuq?!

The most annoying is "yhu" instead of "you"....I mean they're literally the same number of letters!!

I have no regret saying I have tossed several hundreds if not thousands of CVs into the trash can because of this same act.

If you want to reduce the number of applicants applying for a vancant job. Just insist it should be send alongside a cover letter (hand written or typed) and you just have to sit, relax and watch graduates goof away.

Once someone starts a chat, text or email using short text, I discard them immediately.

Gbam,same here!... Once I see the first Abbreviation,I lose interest immediately and don't even bother reading the rest.

I'm not really a fan of shorthand. The article or post looks uninterestingly on arrival if written in shorthand
Re: Reasons Why You Should Stop Writing In Abbreviations by Carlson001(m): 5:52pm On Apr 12, 2016
To some extent, it's quite annoying. Why type 'yhur' instead of 'your'? What time has been saved so?

That spell checker is not good either. There was time I depended on it and it nearly ruined my life(my spelling life). That time I cared less of what I would write knowing full well that they would always provide me with the correct spelling. Until I could not spell SHALL(I was wondering about, could it be shaa or shal)

SOME SHORT TEXT THAT CAN MAKE SOME THROW UP:

Jux - because
Yels - yes
Tho - Though
Tof - Tough
Con3- country amongst many other silly ones.

Most irritating is the "yels". Isn't " yes " easier and shorter to type/write? You'll be seeing things like a letter 'd' with a dash under it instead of "the", and it can be so confusing when you're reading bulky work.


" Is " instead of "it's".

And the worst part about finding it online is that all phones come with a feature for typing correctly. Yet you see people go out of their way to put down ugly words like " jux" , "dix" and "d".
