Good morning HG.

First, well lesson learned. Some of those vanity people do go on to bigger and greater things.

But not to argue with you. You have a point although you are curmudgeonly many times when you make it.

Now for my big complaint, my complaint, my complaint, using your post that I may be mentored by a true curmudgeon.

PEOPLE THAT USE ABBREVIATIONS NOBODY UNDERSTANDS!!!

This is TA and as I read a nice post then CU an abbreviation that makes no sense to me, I realized IWMT or else I am a bit dumb.

Yes, this is the internet and abbreviations are a way of life. Everybody knows LOL....but if a poster is writing of a subject and wants to abbreviate it, in the FIRST instance he should write it out, put his intended abbreviation in parenthesis right after then use it.

There. I’m done.

Totally agree. I hate when people say b/c instead of simply typing out because which my phone suggests the entire word for me after typing just one letter. Such laziness to save actually typing 4 characters. Also people who say 2 instead of to or too and 4 instead of for. It isn’t that hard to type real words. And it helps protect the integrity of our language.
