I quite enjoy it at times, especially in places where it is the native language (the intarwebs, texting, perhaps Twitter). The only place I cannot (and do not) tolerate it is in emails. People are unconscionably sloppy when it comes to emails (old folks and young alike, though for different reasons) and it just drives me nuts. Don't they teach letter-writing in school anymore? And do people forget it when they get to a certain age?
For some reason, any mention of texting as a controversial topic reminds me of this strange meme that's been floating around for a while:
I swear, the next person who addresses me as "u" in an email gets the above treatment
