Like it or not, the shorthand style has become acceptable, even normal, in some circles.
In some circles, yes, however when the area intended for text isn't limited, or the limit is very high, there is really no reason to use shorthands for every single word. Sure, if one were using a limited device or was physically limited him- or herself, but it doesn't appear OP is either.

I must agree, however, that the shorthand style is harder to read.
That is exactly why I atleast myself always try to make any questions I pose as easy to read as possible; the easier it is for your audience to read the more likely you are to receive actual answers.

There is a theory in language circles that "you" will be spelled "u" in 100 years time due to txtspk taking over.
I'm GLAD I'm not alive anymore then, I literally abhor 'txtspk' :S
