oh yes, i clearly do understand what you were trying to say. but you don't get what i'm trying to say:  if a person, in this case aashi, uses short-cuts for convenience, how is that  hip? well, it might sound like that when a kid like your nephew does, but aashi is neither a young kiddo you're assuming him/her to be and neither he/she is pretending to be a hip. of course you don't know that, so your arrogance is excused in this case. if you don't like somebody's style, just ignore it, there's no reason to call the person dumb, retard, and such. say i don't like the way you write, i prefer extreme shortcuts; now does that make you a retard just because you have a certain writing style which i don't like? that's my key point (try to see what's behind the sarcasm i'm pouring at you)

and please, don't spend precious time of yours, mine,  and others describing how dumb your nephew is (or seems to be). you might want to keep it to yourself and find a solution. and it's more likely that your nephew's grades are getting worse because he doesn't study or is not being help in a way he should be, not because he uses shortcuts while texting. worse grades because of short-cuts in texting re...what a joke! let me know if his grades improve when he stops (if it ever happens) using shortcuts while keeping everything else constant. btw, do you have (or did you have) a 4.0 because you always wrote fully structured sentences while texting?

as you might be familiar with text messaging and other forms of short messaging services (but i hardly believe it, so here it goes:), they have character limits and it's legit to use shortcuts, unless you want your messages to be like 8 page long letters your grandparents used to share back in the days.

and please, don't use MY dialogues against ME;  it sounds exactly like when you say "tai chor!" to your friend when he calls you "chor" (because you don't have anything better to say). you might want to build your own fully structured sentences because it seems dumb when you use my sentences against me and it "says that either you are 9 yrs old or a retard". and about villain/joker, give me whatever name you want; it won't bother me. all i like to do is express my sarcasm at people like you picking on someone just because your personal preference doesn't match that of the person being picked on.
