Cultural facts I am afraid. I dislike it as much as French without accent but most Indians for instance (but not only them) will use this 'speed writing'. I remember a Singaporean Chinese who was typing at an incredible speed but whom I have never seen writing anything but 'u' for 'you'. But who do you think set a bad example? 'While U wait'? 'Toys R Us'? As a British friend of mine says 'The day when I see Fish'n Chips that's when I begin planting bombs'.
