Far too many people are starting to bring it to every-day writing (there was a news report about someone using internet short-hand to write a school paper.. I can't find it at the moment) it's only a matter of time before it starts in on the spoken word.
Heck, enough people are resorting to abbreviating what they say as they would on the internet... enough that they actually parody it in a commercial. (I can't find that one either... it's a commercial with a mom and daughter talking. The Daughter is using abbreviations used in texting to talk with her mom.)
