Yeah, I used to work in HR, "educator", and frequently read through applications from young people in the post high school age group. I can tell you that many of them were denied even a call for an interview due to those "symbols and portions of words" because the way they text is the way they fill out job applications.
They might be making a point with their friends, but these kids are getting their applications tossed in the garbage because they aren't thoughtful enough to write out a coherent sentence on a job application - not all of them, but many.
