How r u? U r teh stupid!
I hate I hate I HATE when someone defends their chatspeak ('how r u') by saying, "It's not English class." (Oh wait, no. That'd probably be, 'its not english class'.)
Because no, it's not English class, although clearly, the person usually needs one. A remedial one. However, it is communication, and rules of spelling and grammar are there to facilitate communication. If you break them, you run the risk of being misunderstood. If you don't care enough about what you're saying to make certain you're understood, why should I care what you're saying?
