People are always hating on things. I personally love abbreviations because they make life easier. When you're in class and you have to take a lot of notes abbreviations make your life easier. Abbreviations are only acceptable when you're writing something that only you are going to read. When you're writing a professional document you shouldn't use abbreviations in my opinion because although they are convenient they aren't considered a proper way of spelling.
Abbreviations don't bother me because when you abbreviate something for concsinceness it is different than spelling something incorrectly. If you abbreviate "gov" for "government" it is different than if you say "govermant" instead of "government" it is a completely different because slang makes you seem like you're dumb and don't know what you're talking about and there's never really any harm if you abbreviate something to save a little time.
People that use abbreviations present themselves in a more presentable manner in comparison to using slang. Using slang makes you look ghetto and just stupid. A lot of people use abbreviations in jobs such as people in offices and other work places. If you post things on social media, in my opinion you shouldn't use abbreviations just because you are presenting yourself to a large quantity of people and you want to sound proper instead of awkward because you didn't fully spell a word out.
Abbreviations are nice because they make your life easier when you have a lot of writing to do... just be careful of how you present yourself to other people.
