No offense to anyone, of course, but I have only seen that type of phrasing 
and spelling from immature teenagers bent on causing harm for the fun of 
mayhem; to me, and to some others I know, this has a very bad connotation.

While I do not wish to upset anyone, as I said, if there are a bunch of 
people who will take that negatively then we may choose to deliberately 
steer away from it to protect our image from misunderstanding by others.

(Even if the misunderstanding is the other guy's fault, still *we* get the 
bad rap from his prejudices.)
