    The words I've noticed are:

    'buaring' for 'boring'
    'Neaw' for 'no'

    It's shorter and easier just to spell them properly?
    OMG WHAT IS EVEN THE POINT?!?

    Yeah this doesn't really bother me too much and I tend to write grammatically, even online. It only really bothers me if it's over the top.

    Things like this, however, I will never get used to. Same goes for "could of", brrrrrrrr.

    YES. And it's not even a thing they do because they're being lazy. They genuinely think that it is "could of" not "could have". AND when you try to explain it to them they insist that they're right

    I think it's just an age thing, so doesn't bother me to much. Especially for online sites such as Habbo, people will be more likely to use more Internet chat. Nice prescriptivist attitude though.

    I usually shorten words when I'm tired but I don't think it's a huge deal like its Habbo you should be thankful people are speaking some level of understandable English at least given the array of international users
