If something works, does that imply it's right?

No, it's not always the case.. When texting, we tend to do "shortcuts" (I don't do it anyway, I always write the whole words because shortcuts irritates me), we "get" the essence of the message, yes but is it "proper"? No, gramatically it is wrong.. It's like this: Doing things the right way is not always enjoyable (a kid is not allowed to watch TV beyond 8 pm, it's not fun for the kid since he would still want to watch up until 9 pm but to follow his parents is the right thing to do) but doing enjoyable things doesn't mean that those are the right things to do (the kid insisted to watch TV up until 10 PM and disobeyed his parents. The kid enjoyed watching TV but disobeying his parents' orders is not right).. If something works, it doesn't always mean it is right... We could accept that it works but if we are to follow certain "standards", most likely it would fail.. It's always better to make something work and it's right at the same time...
