In all honesty I use words such as u etc only when in a hurry online. Spelling mistakes etc are common on these forums and any other forums online but that does not make the points any less valid.
This is a forum about information, and noone is going to spend time correcting every spelling mistake, or grammatical error. I do get your point about using U, lol, brb etc online as it at times becomes a habit when typing, yet not when handwritten.
It does depend on the situation though, and I for one will certainly be using you if it is required when filling out job forms <g>
