It's becoming more and more common for folks to surf the web on their super amazing miracle phones. I suppose it's easier for me to read text talk on a forum since I grew up with it. The older generation needs to keep up with the times, not the other way around. Instead of complaining about having to learn to decipher some extremely simple abbreviations, maybe one should marvel at the fact that they can communicate with these people at such great distance at all in such an amazingly short time.
