# i'm very sorry
some people have been so rude to you. We're really not snobs, but people do prefer it if you don't shorten words/use abbreviations too much

# no

I was thinking more of the 'pikey scum' comments

# I think
I said that in the heat of the moment. Abbreviations make my head spin uncontrollably.

# well
i think lots of us feel the same way. But really it's a lot more constructive to explain the problem to the person nicely, rather than insulting them. It does make for a fluffier place :)
