Tell me: Are there that many people out there that are that lazy that they cannot type ONE extra letter?
Case in point - the word 'Thanx'. HOW FUCKING DUMB do you have to be that that actually looks pleasant to read? It offends me. Really. Is your time worth so much that you can't afford the extra 150milliseconds to type 'ks' instead of 'x'?
Thanks is spelt T-H-A-N-K-S. Anything else is an abomination. How badly did you do at spelling in school? Or were you beaten up by a big polystyrene K and S? Does plain english (yes, believe it or not, that is the language in which I interact with you) seem like an alien concept to you?
You're probably the same sort of person that likes using SMS/Texting slang, aren't you?
Jargon is one thing, but shortening a word that is already a shortened form of a phrase is taking it too far.
Or wud u rthr I tlk lik dis?
Fucking idiots.

Interesting. Tell me, waht is your stance on "TX"?
Tx,
Peter
lol.
tx is a proper abbreviation, well at least more proper than thanx.
Thanx just offers up absolutely no benefit to the reader or the writer.
Hell, even Xmas is vaguely acceptable over Christmas - at least the X is replacing more than just 2 letters...
