Who says that non-Indians can spell good ! While bad spelling is bad how can you pass judgment on a whole nation ? So typical of the majority of my dear educated friends who castigate the country and our habits at the drop of the hat. My apologies to the list for sounding so harsh but how does it matter if I make my own acronym .... if it did not make sense you can just ask what it means (be sure it will not hurt your ego to show that you did not know what it meant !)
If your objective is to communicate, then you have to make your communication as easy as possible for your recipient(s) to grasp. Using SMS-speak on a mailing list just makes your mail difficult to understand and some people (including me) will just ignore mails with SMS-speak in them because they find it takes too much effort to grok the mail. Why should I bother to help someone who isn't concerned enough to state his/her problem in full words?
In the meantime...

May be a bit harsh, but you get the message :)
