Yes. I still receive messages from many people (who I know have smartphones) with "u", "ur", and so on.
- degenerate 11y agoI do this, and some of my friends still do too. It's nostalgic fun for those of us that can read it just fine. Of course, I only type like that with people I already know. r u going 2?
- Roodgorf 11y agoNostalgic fun is a good way of putting it. I find myself doing this sometimes with friends as more or less a joke. If people outside my closer group of friends do it I actually find it pretty annoying.
- tluyben2 11y agoEveryone I know does this and it annoys me no end. Worse; a lot actually put those 'abbreviations' in actual serious letters (resumes.......) as well. And these are not stupid people, just young. Edit: and actually, with autocorrect people (all ages) are made lazy enough to leave the wrong word if the autocorrect misfires. Leaving the reader to guess the correct word altogether.
