puter

Well, everybody nowadays seems to be in an unbelievable hurry.
Likewise everybody seems to be obsessed with millions of "time saving" little tricks. Or is it fashion???

Today I came across this expression in a post on a mailing list:
"The puter I'm trying to run it on is ..."

Maybe someone can enlighten me.
What exactly is "gained" by omitting the three characters "com".
It takes maybe 1.4 seconds to type them. If you "save" 1.4 seconds, what are you using them for later???
Or is there somewhere some other hidden "added meaning"???

I guess, this is just one of the million things I will never understand.
After all, I am about 300 years behind my time ...
