I J D G I!

I am quite tired of people who have the insatiable desire to shorten everything down to just letters. And I'm suppose to be on the same wavelength to try and decipher whatever the hell it means. I Just Don't Get It! Use words for heaven's sake!

I'm a regular person, not a Code Talker. Nor am I 16.

Or a psychic.

Or a mind reader.

If I were, I would totally use my special powers for other things than deciphering a lazy persons puzzles. Like when the next terrorist attack is going to be.

Or what was my husband thinking when he bought that Hawaiian shirt? He's just much too white - and blond - to pull that off.

I can tolerate the whole, "When R U going 2 B here?" abbreviation thing. But not, ICW2SYT (I can't wait to see you tomorrow). I'm much too old and impatient to sit there and try and figure out what the crap they are talking about. No wonder why teenagers are getting dumber and dumber. None of them know how to spell anymore.

And don't even get me started on punctuation.

I am an English teacher IRL. In Real Life... sorry, had to do it. Anyway, it drives me berserk. Especially when someone over 25 does it.
