Can we not use that here as I really get lost in it. If you are posting please try to put the whole word in. I know some people cannot speak english very well and that is ok.

Just a thought.

I agree it is tough enough when english is not your first language. The text speak is hard for some people to understand.

It's not hard, but the replaced "s" with "z"s is really annoying.
Especially after the words have already been abbreviated. Like the following example below.
"Plz any1, I need some help plz"
Really, this is a computer, not a mobile phone, 2 or 3 characters do not effect your internet usage.

Well said Sir_Prize...

Especially there are some people who always copy and paste their message to us. Just like to following:

What the hell! Can you spell nicely, if you cannot speak English very well, please use full word and check your stupid spelling!!!!! You annoyed me!!!!

I totally agree. English is not my first language but I make a great effort to make myself clear, not only with spelling but also with coherence - i'm not saying I do it perfectly but I try. What I've noticed is that the ones who don't care about spelling are english speakers who write as they speak. But anyway all of us make mistakes..

Yes. I admit, Mandarin is my first language and English is my second language. But I will try my best to make it clear. You see, I always spell it nicely although I cannot speak so well like Sir_Prize, Kao, Rowan...
