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?
Explain Why!

Every time I see my friends, it's always "I never see you online." Geez, think about that. They're seeing me in person, and then they're complaining that they don't see me online.
