Text speak. Jason, you have my word that I will never speak to you as if we were having a conversation by text. I'm sure you've seen these people. Heck, maybe you've even spoken to one. They're all "and then I was totally LOL and he was, like, OMG!" Now that I think about it, I deal with these people on a daily basis - they are called teenagers. Ugh. How sad, to watch the slow deterioration of the English language. I checked out a website of common texting acronyms and it listed 'alredi' as an alternative for 'already' and 'afair' as short for 'affair'. Really?! It takes too much time and effort to include one more freakin' letter in a word? I weep for the next generation. From this day forward I vow to never use the term ROTFL unless I am actually rolling on the floor laughing and, for some emergency purpose, must text my status to everyone in my contact list. BTW, thnx 4 rdng ths.
