How hard is it to type?

  I just talked with a contractor who is doing some work for us via IM and this was his final two lines he typed to me:-


  Will keep u posted on Log clean up stuff den
  thanx Roger....


   How hard is it to type proper English? You are doing this on a full keyboard at a computer not on some 15 year old numeric keypad only phone. I don't get how peoples brains can think like that. He is a professional (allegedly) that we are paying to do work for us, not some friend that you are just firing a quick message off to.

  I know I occasionally use as acronym or shorthand for some things but most of my writing is in full, correctly spelled, sort of grammatically correct English. It takes no longer to do it this way than using all sorts of crappy shorthand. Just annoys me that it happens, especially in a work setting where you are trying to get things done.
