There's not really a need to; the phone does all the hard script work for you; all you have to do is type in the phonics that make it up. But of course, people will shorten things, just like we use u instead of you in English. It's slang. Like they'll use a romaji 'W' or the character '笑’ to mean 'わらい(笑い)’ or laugh, just like we use LOL.
