Does it really make a diff?

I'm going to pull a Thoreau here and preach from my soap box, and be really pompous. BTW, the dude was a total douche.

Abbreviating words that do not need to be abbreviated is slothful. Are we so tied up with time that we really have to drop the last syllable when we talk? Not to exagg, but the only person who can drop off the last syllable is a man with a rope squeezing the life out of him. Wait, OR, Taylor Launter.Who has the gall, the audacity, the nerve to do that? A snooki.
