"u"

"2"

"4"

When used instead of

"you"

"two, too, to" (although maybe that's preferable than not being able to use the correct word in your sentence)

"for"

How do you feel about "2" when used in a Prince song title?

Prince is dancing right on the edge of acceptable use.

I agree, the letter U and the number 2 should be reserved for use only by Negativeland.

While AOL may have perpetuated and popularized this whole thing, I blame Prince.

(edit: Damn! Beaten to the Prince reference!)

I take it back. Whatever site I saw where Kylie's song titles included "can't get u out of my head" wasn't her official one, so maybe the chick's more intelligent than I give her credit for.

And I recently found <a href="http://www.jasonrivera.com/specials/2003-02/avril.shtml" target="_blank">this article</a> on Avril Lavigne that I think many of you might agree with. It's not exactly work safe.

Wow. Not to derail the thread, but that parody on the link you provided, Jennifer, is fucking hilarious. "Masturbated". There's even a mp3. Oh Jesus, this is hilarious.

Errr, that was "Read the fucking manual, new guy."

Leet, or 1337 as it were, is h4X0r5p33k.

This is my excuse for not going to see Cradle 2 The Grave. It will also be my excuse for not seeing 2 Fast 2 Furious. Well, that and the fact that the preview makes it appear they're trying to break all previous suck barriers.

Shortening easy, really short words such as those, in my opinion, is pretty damn stupid. Its just this internet society we live in that has made it the "in" thing I guess.

When I first opened this thread, I thought Devin was spoofing HAM's penchant for starting a new paragraph for every letter.

If we get these people to stop how else will we be able to tell who on the internet is no older than ten years old? Oh, right, because they are stupid. How could I forget.

We've become a republic of self-absorbed and tyranically arrogant consumers anyway. I'm afraid that there is really no way to curb the further dumbing down of our society.

I heard Christ was dyslexic, so it may have been hard for him.
