Before the advent of text messaging, there was instant messaging which came a specific language. Acronyms such as LOL, ROFL, and the one letter chracters replacing an entire word such as "r" and "u". Most of the time, it was used in chat rooms where scrolling was moving very quickly, so in order to speak your mind you had to type in code. On cell phones, where text messaging is used, we see this code used all time. Most of the time because we only have a certain amount or maximum amount of characters to send in each text message.
The reason why I'm bringing this up is because when people write a letter, email, especially a letter of thanks, I want all the letters of the word in complete sentences. Okay, maybe not complete sentences because for many that's too much to ask. All I could say is if you are sending a message write it out. Especially on emails, where there is an unlimited amount of things you could say and type, and there would be no maximum. I will admit there are a few people like my father who takes a long time to type and prefers to do this code, which is fine...but you younger folk...come on! If you write a letter, write it properly with at least the entire word! Is that too much to ask?
