on facebook, a person spelled "is" "iz". why? I've seen "was" spelled as "wuz"

that's the same amount of letters. I shorten words in emails to save time.

I think "wuz" looks ignorant.

    Sorry I had to yell. I don't want to add to the ringing in your ears.

    yesterday, the ringing was so bad, I could hardly hear a soft spoken man when we were in a meeting and he was at the other end of the table. right now it is pretty good, a one on a scale of ten. yesterday, it was like an 8!

    I'm the king of ignorant i guess because I text "wuz" and "cuz" for because
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    but at least "cuz" is a short cut for a longer word whereas wuz is 3 letters.
