^I think I should repeat my question, in what way do the standards keep you from being productive? I don't really think that using text lingo makes a person be productive as they post in this forum. Do you think that would really help? There's nothing wrong with following the standards and it is up to you how to be productive that won't make the others suffer. The freedom of speech will not decrease, hence it will be increased as to the point that everybody could understand. Just how do you think you will be understood when you use text lingo? It will seem as if you're just talking to yourself because you and you can only understand what you're saying!
