the fact that a young generation is learning now to spell words with numbers in them instead of letters. Made up internet words like powned or whatever... I think it is just completely flawed.
I personally hate emoticons. I turn them off generally. People customize their icons in MSN and forget that when they type in lol it turns into some strange animation that takes up half the screen. It grinds my gears big time. The new MSN have those Nudges and Flash card things, I swear I thought I was going to kill a few people before I found, gladly that you can disable them
Grammar, spelling. I mean, I'm not great at either. But I figure that if your main form of communication with people who aren't physically in the room with you is through MSN, ICQ or AIM, then you should learn to type with some sense of accuracy and with at least spelling in line with someone who at least attended high school.
Shorter words... I don't mind some of them which are practical. For example LOL or LMAO etc. But u instead of you, r instead of are... it's just lazy to me.
