Ppl pls explain why ppl use these abrvs

A UK/Euro thing from what I can tell

[jsinger]

Seems to me that "people" and "please" are short enough that they don't need shortening. A very slight annoyance to me. (SO STOP DOING IT NOW!)Are they just web-isms or are those words commonly abbreviated in Europe.

I think it started with SMS, and later found their way to the web. Language and it use are changing, why fight it?

<<Language and it use are changing, why fight it?>>

Because after awhile, everyone will be functionally illiterate.

Language evolves, and this is just another evolution. Not much you can do about it I think.
