How would you write 'Why do you like complicated things?' if you were to write it the way it sounds?
I made it up, but I think it's close enough to how it could be written. Then there's SMS language, which is even harder to read.
A few real-world examples. http://ezinearticles.com/?SMS-Language---Some-Examples-of-Text-Messages-Including-Txt-Abbreviations&id=5812010
1) My smmr hols wr CWOT
2) I wntd 2 go hm ASAP, 2C my M8s again
I am just wondering where is the example origins and how it is used?

Nanna, the example you provided is quite similar to the example earlier you gave. I noticed that the first example is about sound-interpreting in language when a receiver is interpreting a sender's message using a sound form. That's why when kids or non English speakers are often mispelled words for instance, instead of "I love reading books" they write "Ai laf reeding buuks".
However for your SMS language example is another story where the language is reformed drastically because of the chatting, messaging, and anything related to that via internet or handphones. Why this thing occurs? One of a reason is this, Seems globalization is moving fast, everyone has to move faster and he/she has to write/type a 'short form' word/phrase/sentence so that the message will receive in a short term.
