Twttr Strts New Txt Stndrd?

Cn you read/undrstnd ths pst?

In a prior lfe I wrked at MBNA in cllctns. As prt of the jb, I hd to dcmnt accnts re cnvrstions wth cstmrs. To mke thngs qckr/easr we wre instrcted to lve out vwls whn typng, only to use thm whn absltly ncssry for a wrd to mke snse.

Due to Twttr's chrctr restrctions, thnk this nw type of typing cld tke off? Prsnlly I thnk snce Twttr is mnly a biz tool, cld be dffcult to adpt unvrsl stndrd of typng wthout vwls. Tone & cntxt alrdy can be easly misundrstd evn whn typng full characters, and unprfssnl look of txt is prbbly nt the way mst biz wnt to presnt thmslves.
