Chat-speak is horrendous, ... assuming you mean "guf lyk dis"; I think that's only ever worthwhile on a phone, since it can save cash.
I'm not sure I agree with the verbosity thing - if someone wants to express themselves in a particularly elaborate manner, then I'm OK with that. :P I dunno, ... I guess it could get annoying, using a series of paragraphs to express that they are simply "cold", for example.

I totally agree! Large blocks of text just makes my head hurt, although I will make an attempt to read it. If I get about half way down, however, and I find myself reading the same line twice, that's it. I give up.
Pet peeve #394.... smiley faces (or frowns or any goofy icon) sprinkled liberally in a professional email. And while we're on the subject, unnecessary usage of CAPS,
colors, especially yeallo,. which is not only impossible to see, but an instant migraine producer for me; creative fonts that are just ducky in a personal email but have no particular necessityin a business forum. Oh, and teeeny tiny type makes me want to go all windmill on a person!!!
On that note...may I add
don't be a hater hehe
