Intentional Misspelling of Words

HOLY CARP!!!
I can understand using abbreviations while on messaging programs such as MSN or AIM, but WHY do people feel the need to intentionally misspell words just out of laziness. Often you can't even recognize the words anymore. Such as

u os kaza?
don lodin
hav u herd systm of a dwn lony days

All from a recent MSN conversation. I had to say 'huh?' about 5 times.
It's frustrating! :mad2:

There is a line we cross when we go from "I will believe it when I see it" to "I will see it when I believe it".

It's not new, Riley. 'Lite' is a good example. Been around so long, people think it's correct.

Just say no. :P

Sometimes I say "tonite" instead of "tonight".

It's just chat-sp34k.
