A Common Boggle

Seems like a fair amount of us wonder why people use text shortcuts when they are not texting. What I don't understand is the way it's used when the rest of the sentence has spelled out words.

For instance, "Ur supercalifragilisticexpealidocious" Why not spell out the 'You're'?

"Y U so existentially exuberant?" Like what is the time savings here?

Is it an attempt to appear to be too cool for school? Is it an attempt to appear to be young and stupid?

Any assistance in edifying me on this subject would be greatly appreciated. :)

Molly, You made enough music clip clopping around in those high heels with Mike Flatfoot on your radiogram.
there's plenty of non-youth who do it. if it is done, it is wise to adjust to the traditional method of communication if you want to be taken seriously, as Map pointed out.
