This isn't about any person or written work in particular, but about some article in general. A lot of the articles I've read are written in short-hand. These articles are written in "text-form" as I like to call it. For example; u instead of you, 4 instead of for, cuz instead of because, idk instead of I don't know, etc. This is a literary magazine/website and I believe the articles should be written in formal English. In the future, when you write, you're going to have to write in formal English. Short-hand should be limited to texting and IMing. That's just my opinion(:
