  1. (English is amazing! There are numerous ways to shorten your message if you've gone overboard. There's the 'll instead of will, can't instead of cannot (come to think of it, Finnish has miksei instead of miksi ei as well, but the latter is not at all colloquial, it's rather formal and I'd expect to see it in old movies or books). There's the there's instead of there is, and U instead of you, although I hate using that and try to avoid it even when I'm trying to shorten my visitor message to fit the limits.

     

    I'm always saying things in too many words and I always need to shorten my visitor messages or if that's not possible, I have to do two messages and that always seems like rambling. The limit might actually do me good, it forces me think of other ways to express the same thing.)
