Abbreviations, Who thinks it is becoming it's own languge? Options

[*Programmer*]

Almost seems like we are going back in time and expressing our selves with abbreviations rather then actual words. It's quite sad how a LOL or a ROFL or LMFAO or a STFU can be translated into it's own sort of high tech cave man language. Who else sees this as an issue? The abbreviations I hear now a days... I can barley understand some such as TTYL (talk to you later) and DTIAHFY (Don't Trip I Am Here For You) it's really becoming rather annoying.

Who else thinks were are going down a downwards spiral in today's language by using this?

I've never even heard of 'DTIAHFY'. It internet/text talking, but not its own language...

Neither have I..

Well I don't think saying it online is an issue, but it kind of becomes out of hand when people actually say it out loud I don't know many people that say "jaykay" (jk) or "luh-mow" (lmao), even though I did hear a few people. It's not much of a problem IRL, though.
