hi, i'm an annoying asshole

Can someone please tell me when the use of assholish acronymns in emails and instant messages became so rampant?

If we all just took a stand against and refused to use abbreviated text, I would be 100% less annoyed.

Does it really save so much time to type "g2g" instead of "got to go"?

If you know how to type it should be faster to type correctly the way you learned rather than take time to think of quirky little crap ass abbreviations.

Here is an example of IM's I get from co-workers and friends on a daily basis:
"y/t? wuz up? N2MH, J/C want 2 BS WU. OMG I'm ROTFL!"

Just so you know "J/C means "just chillin" which sounds as cool as it looks.

I like to make an effort to type very slowly writing out extremely long and detailed paragraphs in response to these people, just so the time they saved being an annoying asshole is wasted again.
