So, a community that historically hates typing extra stuff and thus
likes to remove vowels and occasionally other letters from commands,
who primarily "talks" via text communication, is suddenly going to add

Wouldn't our communications be *informal* and therefore not (in
Matthew's words) "how we formally talk about things ourselves"?
