I don't care if it does take more typing (on a phone), I would never use OMG or similar shortcuts, or let a spelling error creep in. I just have too much pride (notice I didn't say "to much pride"). I went to school in the 50s and 60 (not 50's and 60's), when teachers actually taught (and enforced) English grammar and spelling, unlike today. I don't know why other people don't have that kind of pride, or awareness of the image they put forth, but they don't. I can't fix the rest of the world; I can only take care of myself.
