Man gryph, Isn't that a bit too harsh? He could be a foreigner for all we know or even a junior high'er... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, he overused abbreviations which isn't strictly an international thing. I don't care what country you're from but it's still annoying, stupid, and very lame. And if he's a junior high student then that's not helping anything. It just pains me to see how people shorten an already short word like 'the' to 'd' and 'for' to '4' like it's something cool and hip to do. It's not, it just makes you look like an idiot. And it's not something that can't be fixed since it was obviously learned. But then again, I'm just too old for it (it's sad when being 20 is being too old for something).
