      Are you Icelandic? Or is this something you picked up on your own. And contractions are not a fad, they are commonly used. As for xenoglossophobia, its not an irrational fear of such linguistics. Its simply the fact that nobody outside of very specific parts of the world write in such a way. And normally not when communicating with strangers online who never encountered this style of writing.
