Sorry Batfink but that would be, sense of it. Like it or not we all do it to some degree. Have a blast, Paul.
Isn't it funny that phonetic is not spelt phonetically!!

Isn't that what they call an oxymoron?

Yeah it is a bit like the silent F in cucumber.
It maybe an oxymoron but the person who wrote the label was a fking moron!
I think it's more ironic than oxymoronic lol

Just thought I'd let you know: There's no F'in cucumber Paul!
- we've run out!
There is so an F in Fuckin Cucumber! (:-))
It is not surprising with all this American garbage Australia is flooded with (second only to Chinese). So we've started spelling just like them too and soon will have the whole generation fully "americanised"
Actually Shifu, you can now find studies of text speak in Universities... it is considered a new language. each different written language is adapting to this "shortened" version just dilluting or morphing the previous written language. As technology gets more complex and commincation get greater in volume the quality is dramatically decreasing. Then add to that the auto correct option nearly every system incorperates, we end up with what seems like an illiterate generation but in actuallity it's developed it's own language.

Yeah, it is probably because they haven't learn how to write in English by the time they got into an University.
New language so the dumb&dumber can understand their SMS's.
