Why? So Frustrating

I don't understand how people older than 10 can type in text speech. When you use numbers in words and abbreviate.
Example: Good 4 u. I h8 it when....

Just no. Type it out, and you will look far more intelligent. I just cannot take people seriously who don't actually type. You're in a role play world where a lot of people are posting and trying to read. I just want to skip over everything I'm reading when it's like that. I get misspellings and grammar mistakes. We all make them. That's not what I am referring to. At least then I can see you're trying.

I'm sorry, I had to get this off my chest. I just think people should try. You can't do that in school, and you can't do it for a job. So, why do it anywhere?
