"it was a generalization on the kids and their short form typing."
This "short form" of typing is not only kids; I disagree with your statement.
Earlier this year, CBS Network had a program on "short form" typing. Some larger companies are now having "training sessions" for their employees in typing and memo jobs (not kids), teaching them how to write.
Seems as if many companies are having a problem reading memos, letters, and emails sent to company executives.....can't read them!
The celll phone "text messaging" has gotten out of hand with many employees, not kids, who now do not know how to type a letter or memo.
Yes, this SMS short form and other various shorthand even annoys me, and I am of the aforesaid generation! I admit that I am guilty of an occaisional "lol" or even--gasp!--"w00t!!!" But I do it just for laughs between myself and my peers who understand poking fun at the so-called "hacker" slang.
Being OCD, I have aversions to more things than the average person, I think, but the worst are:
typing sounds/keys clicking (and I'm going into the IT industry! Yikes!)
people chewing with their mouth open (the sound they make--yuck!)

You can disagree all day Fred but it's the iPOD generation that has perfected the SMS short form.
i, too , think it's the SMS to blame -i wasn't sure since i live in a diff. place, but i see i got to the same conclusion.
lol- sorry to be so dumb, by i've never seen it before i joined this place, and it's not exactly clear to me yet.
i guess i need it's intonation too
as for what drives me nuts?
radio blasting from passing by cars - especially at night
and motorcycles roaring at night as well, but also during the day
