Quoted from the Forum Etiquette section of the ROR wiki-
Please type in clear, grammatical, correctly spelled english. More generally, if you write like a semi-literate boob, you will very likely be ignored. So don't use instant-messaging shortcuts. Spelling "you" as "u" makes you look like an semi-literate boob to save two entire keystrokes. Worse: writing like a l33t script kiddie hax0r is the absolute kiss of death and guarantees you will receive nothing but stony silence (or, at best, a heaping helping of scorn and sarcasm) in return.
Not being mean, I'm just pointing this out.
