#94524 - True, but....
Responding to: ???'s previous message
the majority of this thread seems to be discussing origins of words, languages, etc. Looks way off topic to me. I can see everyone getting their two cents in, but back and forth, back and forth.
The rules of the forum says:

Please make your best effort to write clear and understandable messages and don't use local shorthand or abbreviations that may not be understood worldwide. The use of "SMS" abbreviations is not professional and is highly discouraged. This means you should not write "u" when you mean "you" and should not write "4" when you mean "four."

I can see a first timer coming on and getting warned on their first post, that they would be better off not to use SMS. Then they continue to do so intentionally... just quit responding, they'll get the message.
