This type of abbreviated text is common for users on older systems that use a teletype rather than a monitor for output. When characters per minute (as well as ink and paper) come at a premium, it pays to abbreviate!

From: Selador Cellardoor It's taken me some time to work out what e1 in a previous posting is supposed to mean. I suppose that typing that code saves six whole keystrokes, but it does rather put the onus on the reader to expend the effort involved in translating it.
In other words these contractions could be regarded as lazy and discourteous.
I always thought the purpose of communication was to get your point across easily and quickly with the least effort. Somehow that no longer seems to be the case. if that's the case that ppl ... oh sorry, PEOPLE ... can be so picky with spelling, perhaps then we should no longer use BTW, IMO, IMHO, OMW, AFK, BRB, TTYL .....
