Yea, I guess I failed somewhat as a parent....but hey, all first and only time parents are at best amateurs!!! It's not the only fail I've had either...I received my PHD (Pig Headed Dogma) from H.K.U. (Hard Knocks Univ.)!!! LOL! Actually I have a great kid and other than his spelling skills he's pretty dam smart and stays outta trouble! And if something I have typed looks kinda like text type, it's prolly cuz I'm either really feeling lazy (from some couch lock stuff) or I'm really flying and my fingers just can't keep up and I'm too high to remember there's an edit function....

WW it's funny you should bring this up as I just got an email from my ol HS sweetheart a few mins ago...(yea after 38 years we still keep in touch!) dealing with this very subject: It went like this lamenting the decline of capitalization in writing, which is something these txtn kids like to forget...Capitalization in writing can mean the difference between "helping Uncle Jack off a horse" and "helping uncle jack off a horse"....LOL! Hope ya'll got a chuckle out of that one, I did!

Yea, I'm blazed right now...:stoned:
TANKJR Reviewed by TANKJR on . Using texting talk in posting. Folks, I am old, almost as old as dirt. I text, but I still spell out my words. I find trying to read 'texting english' extremely difficult and essentially when I see it I don't bother reading the post. I figure if someone is too lazy to type the word, or learn to spell, I am too lazy to read the post. I would assume some of the other older members would be the same. I do realize old dogs need to learn new tricks....and I do often, but to read out a post in jargon is something I do not Rating: 5
