Jeez. If you get this exercised over mere abbreviations, I wonder what happens when you see actual typos...

"WRT" doesn't bother me, likewise "FYI", "IMO", "YMMV" and a host of others. They're legit abbreviations.

The ones that get to me are "U" instead of "you", "4" instead of "for", "2" instead of "to", and the like. Those are beyond the pale, IMO, because they don't represent the thing they're abbreviating. They're just plain sloppy usage, trying to be hip and cool, and sounding like an idiot.
