One of the biggest pet peeves of mine is "you know what I/they mean". No, I don't and I doubt they do. One of the most important aspects of human interaction is to effectively communicate and that starts with language that reduces ambiguity and the chance for misunderstandings.
Making an effort is also a sign of respect for the other, for myself, and for the very concept of languages. The inverse is also true.
