Texting "ur" instead of "your", etc.

I met this girl out at a bar on Friday and got her phone number. She seemed pretty cool and we've texted a couple times since then. I've noticed she uses "ur" and "u" instead of "your" and "you". These days I feel like the only people who do that are over the age of 50 or under 16.

I can't decide if it's a deal breaker quite yet. Does this bother anyone else? I can't be alone on this one.

Ask her what she does with all the extra time she saves by doing that.

Don't worry, as soon as she learns more about you she will undoubtedly leave you anyways.

Nobody does text-speak anymore.

Straighten her out and tell her not to do it. Get immediate "hand".

This. Chicks do cutesy stuff with texts.

I'm anal retentive, so I punctuate and spell as best I can like I'm writing an essay.

I don't do it, but I see why people would use textspeak. It's not like typing on a keyboard. You not only have to hunt and poke, but the keys are very small. It slows the process like crazy so people take shortcuts.

It's just short hand. If that's a deal breaker you're either batting for the rainbow colored team or you have a fear of relationships.

Dated a chick one time who purposely wrote that way in texts. One weekend morning one of her chick friends who was annoying calls at 7am, wakes both of us sorta up she grabs her phone and ignores the call, writes a text and instead of writing "U", she in her sleeping state wrote "you". So later on after we wake up she checks through her phone and accused me of writing her idiot friend.

I think the worst is "r" for "are". How R U? ;-)

Only black people use that now.

Are your parents ok with this?
