It is so funny, the way people pick up their kids' text message habits and apply them to email. [NYT]

Let me know if it gets returned back to you, etc. Thanks.

I swear to god. This is a grown assed man in his 40's or so. I don't even write in abbreviations in IMs.

I cry for the English written language.

@The Real JR: that looks like a dealer's txt msg

@The Real JR: I'm a non-abbreviator as well. I feel so righteous.

@J. Henry Waugh: "Na'yet" has one less character (the space) than "not yet." That's not abbreviation, that's just douchey.

Boring. Wake me up when this sex-trafficking former prosecutor is in jail.

Moe, have you ever used a BlackBerry? Or listened to a Prince song?

no I said no I won't no LilyBlue 10/01/08 10:24AM

@LilyBlue: No, no, no, no, no. It's just not that difficult to type "you" instead of "u," even on a Blackberry. I will never, ever succumb, and I have the very, very sore thumbs and hands to prove it.

Also types "gurt" and calls cellist "-ma". Wants to go to "kohama Prefecture" and drives "Totas." Does "ga" and sees a "gi" and of course loves it when Jewel "dels". Eats eggs without "lks" and once got Lost In Nkers and his favorite toy consists two equally sized and weighted disks of plastic, wood, or metal, connected with an axle, with a string tied around it, made by Duncan, which he spins by himself while Silda cries in the corner over a love, long lost.
