Snicker ......
My daughter was driving the other day and asked me to send her friend a text that she would be late - using her phone. This was going to be fun. I typed EXACTLY what she asked me to but with full punctuation - "You" wasn't U, "Are" was spelled A-r-e and "I'm" had an apostrophe.Â
Punch line - when she figured this out she was horrified but for an unexpected reason. "Daaaaaad - they'll think I'm MAD at them." So correct punctuation = clinched teeth in anger. Who knew?
So yeah, I'm an old fart! I might as well revel in this because there's no way I'm going to write "You are" as "UR". A 40 something affecting teen IM slang is like wearing a Teebow jersey to the office with a Bronco cap turned sideways - It's just wrong. Let 'em explain the social lapse later.

In 1938 Neville Chamberlain declared "Peace in our time", Superman first appeared in Action Comics, Seabiscuit beat War Admiral ....... and C.a.l last won the Rose Bowl.
