I am actually seeing some beginnings of acceptability of some SMS-style short forms in business writing. Both my manager (late thirties, French, title of VP) and his manager (late fourties, American, title of SVP & GM for Europe) use “u” and “ur” in internal email, even of a serious nature. It’ll be interesting to see where this all goes.
