Perhaps a couple here or there common shortcuts isn't so bad, but I noticed in your other thread a lot more. And some aren't so obvious.
It isn't about spelling, but trying to communicate in a professional and technical manner on a professional, technical forum. This isn't facebook where you are trying to text message or your twitter your buddies about where you are going to get drunk tonight.
You also have to remember that many of the users of the forum aren't native English speakers. So what may be a perfectly clear shortcut for you doesn't convey to them what is your problem or opinion.
I suggest you look through this thread. http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=BreakPoint&thread.id=6099 so you can get a feel for how the regular, long time users of these forums feel about this.

I honestly don't think that is a similar problem. You should really know how to respect other people and how to be professional.

Sorry to bump it up but does anyone have any idea or it comes with no solution?

And the English 2600 textbook. (Which, IMHO (ha-ha) is a great way to improve your English skills.) Seriously, though - it's hard enough to clearly express your problems without further muddying the waters with texting shortcuts.
Anyway, I was just going to subscribe to this thread because it was interesting, but felt like I had to interject here. My personal experience with texting shortcuts is in social forums where, without exception, the people who use the shortcuts are also the most clueless. Now this is probably not the case here, but my admittedly biased opinion prevails with me here, too.
