Language is always going to evolve mate. Our current use of english is suiting us as a society more as it is more fast and hurried! I teach a bit at uni and marking some people assignments where they do right with modern slang and use "U" instead of 'You' is just terrible.

There should be a comma between 'evolve' and 'mate'.

'english' should have a capital E.

'people' should be 'people's' .

'right' should be 'write'.

And you reckon your students are terrible?

Yeah, and fong makes it to the front page, then thinks he's some sort of literary genius...............

As if.................

I'm good with all of that but if a bloke restricts himself to only one type of communication then he's not going to be able to understand a lot of books -

- and if a bloke fancies himself as some sort of writer - he cannot make it without doing a lot of reading first ..

a fullstop after the first sentance is fine.
and with the topic heading, theres no a in intelligent...
:? who cares

on the topic, i found a video not so long ago, funniest stuff, a guy goes up to all these girls n tries to pick em up using the "internet/sms slang". For example, instead of laughing he actually says "lol", and not spelling out the letters l-o-l, he says it as one word. "have i c-n letter-u letter-b number4??" "u looking s-x-c" and heaps of other stuff, ill try and find the link for ya's later
