Yeah I dunno if they go by the character still or not, but I always spelled my words out anyway :P I honestly don't like people that talk like 'hw u doin ws lol last ni hd a awes tm l8r!' either be it online, in a text message, or whatever, always drove me nuts, and the QC is the same way.

And I still stand by my statement about them being airheads, not so much for the shorthand, but for the content overall
