When the last French Knight was skewered on the last English Pike, and a little later when the Duke of Wellington watered in Napoleon's loo, it became quite clear what language would be spoken in the Civilized World (the Commonwealth, i'm not getting started on America). The poor Queen became the representative of an entire language, the Duke of Edinburgh nodding at her side.
Then came SMS, and later Orkut and ruined eight centuries of accumulated linguistic learning. What is this with dat, dis and wat?. Its just two extra characters, the typing comes with experience. There's hardly any extra effort, the fingers just fly across the key board and do all the work, no cerebral interference required.
The flow is totally ruined when you are reading something serious and a dis pops up somewhere in the middle, the seriousness is lost and you end up not selling your quota of soap, washing powder or whatever an MBA is supposed to sell.
In conclusion, neva use contrctins wen u can typ d hole word. It pisses me off

Seriously man! As if our spoken English hadn't deteriorated with all the "Dude", "Yeah!" and such Americanisms, and as if chatting was not already further informalising our written communication which is so important in a corporate setup, people force you to read without vowels...What are they even trying to save!
Save my brain "ppl", I already have a bird brain..Forget saving your brains or efforts...You wouldnt need much of either as Hemanth has rightly pointed out..
Save my brain instead! Please!!! ;-)
