R U Doing it 2?

Posted by danfurman - December 5, 2009 - Fun Stuff, General Marketing, Website Copywriting

I heard a talk recently by some higher up in a marketing company about the loss of communication skills (or skillz) by the younger sect, because they use U instead of “you”, etc. He probably mentioned 10 examples or so.

That would be fine and all if the company’s brochure didn’t have “B2B” in big letters, right on the first page.

Oops.

    “Leet/text speak” was the tipping point with a former Realtor of ours. I just didn’t feel comfortable dealing with someone that constantly phrased questions like: “Did U C listing I sent U?” or “R U going 2 call B4 9?”

    She had a Blackberry with a physical keyboard for crying out loud! It’s not she had to deal with the old style phone pad for characters.
