AsalamuAlaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh,

Don't be sorry!

It's just once you get used to short hand, you use it on everything, like Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to SWT and Sallalahu Alayhi Wassalam to SAW, which I believe is disrespectful,

So yeah..there you go, my 2 cents worth of a reason...

Thanks for the advice.
What if both sides of the conversation know the meaning of the abbreviations, and the abbreviations are used purely for reasons of efficiently / coherency in writing, not to reduce significance of meaning, is it still disrespectful to use them?

AsalamuAlaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh,

Akhi! I think you misunderstood, No way was I implying that you were being disrespectful,

Having said that, it was my opinion,

But you may want to look at:

And that (writing it in abbreviated form) does not serve that purpose and is devoid of the virtue of writing “salla Allaahu ‘alayhi wa salaam (May Allaah send blessings and peace upon him)” in full. Moreover the reader may not take notice of it and may not understand what is meant by it. It should also be noted that the symbol used for it is regarded as disapproved by the scholars, who warned against it.

InshaAllaah!

Akhi, everyone has there own way of spelling these words, it is fine the way you've spelt it,

(A.S) Alayhis Salaam
(R.A) RadiAllahu Anhu/Anha/Anhum (Male singular/female singular/both male and female plural)
(R.a) Rahimullah/RahmatullahiAlay

And so on..
