Yeah I know and when you call someone on it (in a message board) they alwyas reply back that they were in a hurry that is why they typed like that. It seems like it would take longer to type out most of the stuff they do... M = one character I/I = 4 character. over at animotions some guy started a thread asking for something and after a week no one had responded and he got mad and started another one in which case others (including myself) said that if he wanted a reply he should type a request that we could understand. Amazingly enough that once he did that he had several replys the first day. I tend to ignore people like that and if more people did maybe it would go away...at least on the more intelectual boards.
