Exactly. And I do know why I find it easier to read, it's because when I see ppl, I read something like pipple - it doesn't sound like people in my head. Irritating. Same as like when people write you're when they mean your - I read you are which of course makes no sense. The one I hate the most is ur for your. Argh! Ur is not a word. It doesn't sound like a word. Ur is a grunt
