Unforutnately, some of these younger people are finding that their boss doesn't think it's very "cool" to not be abe to write coherent sentences in a work setting. I understand that every letter counts while texting, and I've stopped showing any outward signs of dismay when I get an e-mail at work using "u" (and even I will write "thx" sometimes), but the day a marketing piece says "u will luv our product....it meets all ur needs" is the day I hope I am already six feet under.
