IMO only, this form of texting just makes people look very lazy and illiterate to the message receiver. I truly believe the majority of people really don't want to try and decipher cryptic versions of the English language simultaneously slowing down their reading speed. I swear I'm losing confidence in where this country is going. The tendency to communicate this way will obviously carry over into professional lives and will reflect negatively to an employer. A person wouldn't work long for me who communicated this way. Words like "Cuz, Dey, Da" aren't words, just a lazy way to communicate. Yep, I'm an old timer who isn't perfect but at least I try to make meaningful, unambiguous, declarative sentences. In your words, "jus put'n togedda sum werds."
