Call me Old Fashioned, but I learned on something similar to this and can still send 12 wpm by hand and copy about 10 wpm in my head. :p

Don't you mean "use" instead of "say"? *Sarcasm*

Come on man, this is the internet.

I tend to use "U" more often when writing long e-mails or paragraphs mainly becuase I have so much to say. However lately Ive been trying to quit the habbit.

Same with using "cuz" instead of because, another "slang term" im trying to quit.

[mapleleaf4ever]

That and I'd use "Cuz" when referring to my Cousin. If I shorten "because" I find " 'cause" much more palatable.
