Typing with lots of overdone shortenings and "SMS language" is extremely annoying.

"hw r u ?"
I'm not okay. I'm not okay because you thought it would be okay to text someone while typing like you're trying not to engage more than 3 brain cells moving your fingers across your keyboard. I don't understand why anyone would shorten a 3/4 letter word to a single letter while writing something to be posted online - it just comes off as lazy, like you absolutely don't care about what or who you're addressing this to.

After all these years of texting/posting with one letter words and making the internet a more difficult place to understand, tell me what have you done with all the time you've saved? You must have accumulated a lot of time given the half a second it would take to type a letter or two extra. What have you done with it? Did you build a f*cking nuclear reactor in your garage? Did you manually solve the math problems instead of making your computer do it while mining bitcoin? Where's your third college degree? You've been using the internet for quite a few years now.

Also, how difficult is it to Google some basic grammar like the difference between they're/their/there, where to put an apostrophe, etc.? It takes 3 minutes to read an article/ watch a video explaining the differences or whatever, yet you couldn't be bothered to. You'll go ahead and make memes and write tweets and in the unfortunate event more than two people find it interesting or it gets reposted and so on, you'll be bothering thousands of people with your pathetic methods of expression and make them think you had a stroke while typing, and make their days a little bit more difficult because they had the misfortune of coming across a product of your existence. It is extremely easy to fix your ways, to find the required understanding of the language that you speak daily, but you still choose to type like a degenerate.

ps. This is exaggerated for some comedic effect, but the point still stands. (I'd be crucified if I didn't mention this, even if it's obvious.)
