This is what I call the Chat/IM syndrome.

Some people use Chat/IM for a long time, and then they forget (or never learn in the first place) how to express themselves properly in email, forums, letters, essays, ...etc.

I have seen this at work too. Some use email just like IM or IRC chat, with abbreviations, all lowercase, ...etc.

Sad, but happening.

Of course, not everyone who uses Chat/IM fall into this. People who do not learn how to express themselves according to the medium cause this issue. Those who adjust to the medium have no problems.

Answer: Your talking about the shortening of each node when u look at a list/category of nodes (nodes=ur content). You can change this by going into admin/content/configure(inside the page on top right)/ then lengthen the trimmed posts pulldown box to whatever limit u want
remember this is characters(a letter), not words.
