Why not just judge people by the way they look instead of the way they communicate? Its an easier form of prejudice.
Hmmm. I think that both forms of prejudice come rather easily to me. I am not sure it matters which is easier. You do?
I am curious to see where you mean to go with your assertion.
Cheers.
Post Script: I can see where the use of shorthand could be viewed as pretentious; I am guilty of using "ABE". I will do so no more.
