English is my third language and I had no problem understanding it (and neither did whoever or whatever is behind the account you replied to, and I've got them tagged as a russian — or chinese — troll bot account)...

I do wish, however, that anyone who writes “U” instead of “you” would slowly die of exploding anal cists and haemorrhoids, though, I'll give you that.

Perhaps you can explain then. I do not know what left on read means?

When you send someone a message in some messaging system which has read confirmations (like whatsapp, for instance, or outlook), and the message is marked as read (or you receive a message read confirmation, or whatever equivalent your messaging system has), but they never actually reply, which often implies that they don't want to (or can't be bothered to, same difference). Whatever the case they probably don't have as much respect for you as you have for them.

As a metaphor I suppose it can also mean doing something for someone without getting anything in return, even though reciprocation would normally be expected.
