I'd say the "u" and "ur" stuff is the worst. I find it's very very hard to come across as intelligent if you use those in your writing. I do try not to judge people too prematurely as I've seen intelligent people use them before, but those who do should perhaps consider the impression they might make. It's more acceptable (although still largely silly) in an IM conversation but on a forum we can surely spend the extra few seconds to type our words out in their entirety. Oh well, hardly worth getting worked up about in any event.

i was thinking about this earlier and i think i started saying werd because i used to say fucking werd a lot on AIM and that way i could type 'fuckin' then the rest with my left hand, so while i was typing 'g werd' i could move my hand to my mouse/hit enter
and homophones really piss me off...for native speakers they're not that fucking hard
hear = listening type thing
here = not there...note: there
there = not here, see^
they're = a contraction of 'they are'
their = posessive of them, no real intuitive way to remember this, just memorize it or go by process of elimination
