It lacks adab, it is not haram, it just does not portray the love and respect that we should have.

I heard from a Barelvi (on their TV station) using abbreviations after Allah, the Prophet, et al such as SWT, PBUH, SAW, RA and others is wrong and should be written in full. Is this a Barelvi understanding or more universal? Or nonsense?
