Typing it right!

This is a subject that has been haunting me for the past few days. Its about the acronyms that are being used while chatting, posting in a forum, while mailing someone and so on. I used to do it on regular basis irrespective of whatever i was involved in. A few minutes ago, i had a chat with one of my friend who is good in english and he seemed indifferent. i then asked two more who were online at that moment. they told me that they preferred reading collonial english rather than acronyms. its an habit that i am getting used to. especially when i have been using slang words for the past few years. those of you out there, if you bother to read this piece of trash, can you all let me know which form of text do u prefer to read?
