There's a difference between writing Abbreviation for common phrases that are too long to write and more or less common knowledge among the users (ie DC, TLK, AU, CS...) And just writing d for the or hv for have which are not even common in the English language like I'm, he's, they're, isn't, she'd... In his defense( joshleung) for younger people that is very understandable(at least to me). I read every word of every comment he made without a problem, but older people who don't text as much or use that type of writing would find it difficult to read. It's not really just that. I'm young (at least I think I am) and can read that, but everyone has to keep in mind that there are those that don't have English as their first language and text talk makes no sense to them.
