It is definitely a very small scale problem in SL2, for sure. But still one worth addressing.
As for my opinion being strong? I'm 27. I've been active online for my entire adolescence and adult life thus far. Quite honestly, I'm simply fed up with some things about the way people act, this being one of them. Of course I'll have a strong opinion. I've had people talking back to me about suggesting (Usually with a "please" and explaining that it makes it easier for others to read) that they say You instead of U and the like for literally over half my life.
I'm not trying to lord my age over anyone, for the record. I'm simply stating this for context.
What I'm getting at is, it never gets any easier to read. It's a simple matter of respect. If people want me to read what they say, I want them to write it properly. Typos? Accidents happen. Occasionally missing punctuation? Accidents happen. Constantly using 13374p34k? I'm not going to put in the effort to decipher their mangled gibberish if they don't put in the "effort" (leet takes more effort than proper language, btw) to communicate their point, end of story. And neither should anyone else.
Granted, I'm just reaching for leet as an easy example. This thread is mostly about the commas and "r u" and "i c" anyways. I've only seen like three instances ever of IC leet in SL2. One of which was recently, granted, but that's not the main focus here.
