Do you ever wonder why Instant messaging is so popular? for one it’s easy to use and you can access it anywhere on the web, for instance aol, all u gotta do is login to their site and you get the virtual AIM with your contact list ready. The only thing that I don’t understand is why people tend to use the IM language instead of the english language. For example, you see the “you” as “u” your as “ur” btw I’m a victim of that as well since I tend to use abbreviation alot. If you try to make sense of it though, it doesn’t take that much time to type your instead of ur and etc… The only thing that bothers me is when people start not to make sense of their words or making words up , to see what I’m saying here’s a Site I found a online that translates the english into the aol language. I’m going to translate this paragraph I wrote into aol to show you the difference. lmao.

    I know what you mean. Sometimes I’ll even catch myself type the word out and then I’ll backspace over it to use the abbreviated form!! :mrgreen:
