Does it annoy you when people use word shortcuts such as "brb" or "omg"?

It really only bothers me when they use it in the wrong situations. If someone wants to talk like an illiterate schmuck in personal emails or text messages then thats their problem. But when they use it in reports at work, in academic papers they submit to my cles, resumes, job applications or in official or semi official letters then I get frustrated. If you want to be taken as a mature, educated person then you have to come across as such in how you communicate.
