The worst thing is the fact that not only people in the USA and other English speaking countries use it. I don't like those abbreviations too much, anyway, I wouldn't mind them that much if they were in Czech.

By the way, I hate the more and more "common" usage of "u" (you). I don't understand why some people really do use it. I've even seen it in a handwriting... I mean not only on the chatting programms and so on. And it looks so terrible, in my opinion!
