why do people bitch about this so much? is it an American thing? it's just an alternate form of writing and it's barely different from normal writing. like you only need to remember what k, r, s and z look like.
I'm sorry if you barely cleared what passes as literacy and are bitching about learning anything beyond you might as well be illiterate. what's next? i learned lowercase letters for no reason, i could've been communicating through all caps the whole time.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is an American thing. As to why, well, you said it: "bitching about learning anything beyond you might as well be illiterate".
