I've always been a little annoyed by the butchering of words especially in businesses or web sites, things like Cheez Fries, Quik-E Mart, EZ Wash and things like that that save 1 or 2 letters and make it terrible to look up in your GPS. "No, that's Cheese with a Z... and no E". Oh oh oh!!! No wonder!
Bad but I'm getting used to it is the Text Speak. UR instead of You are, cya instead of see ya, fine I guess. There's something to be said about typing with your thumb.
What I don't get and will not accept is the combination of the two plus the added bonus of laziness to capitalize and spell check. Most PCs these days as well as even cell phones have SPELL CHECK in them, why some people think something like the following is cool versus what I see, and that's a lack of education and pure stupidity. The following is an actual ad:

Not only does this fool not "no japanies writing" he apparently does not know english either. Makes you wonder how he passed the 6th grade, assuming he did.
I know I'm old and crotchety, but all this text speak is turning us into a bunch of illiterates. It's disgusting.
