@Mumbai Dude: Just because people pronounce it in a certain way doesn't mean that they're illiterate. This is not supposed to be an article that is to be followed by huge debates of what's wrong and what's right,this is just some light hearted comedy which should be taken light heartedly and then one should just move on with their life.
Only illeterate people use such words. In twitter mostly words like u, i m etc are used.
