Yeah, you can tell. I'm not saying that we should all be grammar nazis but I am saying that if someone can't bother to use the word YOU or FOR they are clearly not trying.
Most of the people who use things like u or r or sum1 or b4 are freshmen right out of middle school or other "new" students. Most will grow out of this phase pretty quickly when you politely ask for them to use correct spelling and grammar and treat them like an adult with respect. If you ignore them, they will never have anyone to help correct their actions and they will keep using aim/l33t speak.
