OT: translation anyone?

That's why I hate texts. How much time does a person shave off by typing "u" instead of "you"? And is it really that tough to look at a text before you send it. The two seconds you take to look at what you texted prevents gibberish like "veain". The more likely I am to have to translate a text like it's sent in Farsi, the more likely I am to not reply or text back "chumble spuzz gib meffick" and make that person stare at their phone with a dumbfounded look.
