Why do so many people these days insist on wrting in txt spk in posts, using stupid abbreviations like 'u', 'ur', 'm8', and using no capitals etc?

This sort of thing is fine on mobile phones with a fiddly keypad and a short message length limit. It's utterly stupid in a forum, with a full size keyboard and no message limit that's ever going to matter.

if i c a msg tpd wiv al th wds lke dis i cnt b rsd rding it at al its 2 mch lke hrd wrk!
