some people try to be too "fashionable" by writing this type of shorthand.

i know a teenage girl who writes to me emails "hi aunty, dis dat abt" etc etc,,,, That is OK...but I was shocked one day , when her father in 50+, tried to write such language !!!!

it is just another hypocirsy of some Indians, having studied in Indian shcool, suddenly start wrting "I GOTTA GO,, YOU WANNA IT ?"....... such US slangs !!!!
