Perhaps you misread. I was positing that using the full, correct spelling of the word 'you' is pretentious. It is not lazy to type more keys!
My point, then, is that it's not pretentious to use the correct spellings for words. Rather, the opposite is lazy and indicative of the inability to spell correctly (eg 'ur' as an easy replacement for 'you're' and 'your').
