In England and Australia we spell ” colour, as such. whoever in the U.S it is ” color ” the same with humour and humor and so on.

Over time new words are introduced into a language and over time they are chopped and changed.

It is the youth who will decided, and thus a comment like ” WTF r u tlkn bt ! will end up being taught in schools.

I hope I’m ( I’m is a Good eg ) long dead before it happens.

It is not proper to say that ppl are lazy and/or stupid & they don’t know spelling etc.; as many answerers have commented. Our ultimate aim is to make ppl u/stand what v wanna say. Americans have been the first to change the spellings with the idea to cut off unnecessary letters, like color and favor etc ie without u. When you answer another YA user’s mail, u will see that the character-count is running. If you shorten the words, u may write more and it saves time as well. Instead of being stupid, these ppl r WISER to find shorter, better & quicker option. It actually puts a ? mark on wisdom of the ppl blaming them to be ignorant.

PS (add det-2)- Drops make the ocean! (How much time is saved…) It isn’t saving only one letter. In an average answer you will notice that at an average 10-15 letters r saved. It’s a matter of habit to u/stand these abbrvtns. As I have seen many ppl asked on YA, meaning of lol, lmao etc. It’s necessary to know the FF of these expressions. Abbvtns of the words r usually obvious at a guess. As a matter of fact if u leave blanks at such places also, ppl may u/stand by guessing.

It seems that eventually everything becomes more abbreviated.

Telephone becomes phone.

Television ( from Greek and Latin) becomes Telly or TV.

Laughing Out Loud becomes LOL, and maybe soon just LL.

Also, perhaps they are not great typists and are just spelling the words incorrectly.

Hope this helps!

i think when a person gets in a hurry: i do it to..i admit..we use really sloppy skills its like computer slang.

**blessings&huggies***

so the conclusion is just to type the msg faster!
