I am so with Nate. Probably one of my biggest pet peeves, along with 'ne-1' and that kind of thing. Grr...

I do prefer people and I do care.

I don´t get upset when people use ppl though but it is much easier for me to read people then ppl, don´t ask me why. I can live with abbrevations such as AFAIK since you save space and time, but typing people is only three more letters. [img]smile.gif[/img]

My view has always been that as long as its understandable it dosent matter. Ppl or people, it dosent matter. Now, l337, that bothers me. And SMS style abbreviatons used on the forum. But non-cryptic stuff like ppl is OK.

the only thjing i don't like is lol. its so annoying, especially when people laugh at there own jokes using it. WHY NOT USE SOMETHING MORE IMAGINATIVE! its not hard, like cml (crapped myself laughing). use a little imagination people.

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

well, on chat programs like mIRC or ICQ, you need to type fast. so you ought to use abbreviation.

But then you would always have to post the meaning with it as well
