OMG RU 4 reels?

I take pride in the fact that I don’t have a spell checker in my emails and that my mother could read them, if I let her. Depending on the email required, my emails are sometimes long, but they are never grammatically suicidal. They don’t look or read like my nieces’ text messages for the next beer run or who they were tagged with on Facebook. Am I being obsessive, am I having trouble keeping up with the new language, and what was wrong with the old one?

Smiley faces, emoticons, purple fonts, and parentheses used to say happy or sad were bad enough when it came to business emails, but the decoding required for many of today’s emails gives me a twist. dictionary. When did “LOL” turn into “laugh out loud”? I just thought people were being very loving when they signed normal emails that they thought were pretty funny. The speed required by conversational email has turned phone text into common language and intrusively found its way into business. You will be pleased to know that OMG is already in some US dictionaries and it is not likely to be the last acronym to be included as Shakespeare rolls in his grave.

Efficiency is sometimes used as a blame card for poor spelling and grammatical laziness, but most of that can be fixed with software that checks your writing and submits it correctly. What doesn’t make sense is the hard work it takes to acronym your business emails, either creating new ones or tricking the recipient with letters they can’t decode, rendering the message worthless.

Sure we thought we were smart with the occasional FYI, ASAP, or even FAQ, but they were so rare that we all got used to them over time and every time a new one came out, you wished you were the first to use it, remember BYOG and how happy you were at the end of the week, TGIF?

WTF, IMO i2 I am fighting a losing battle against the tide of the EM alphabet soup, so I will talk 2 U L8R on how to tackle YAA EM syndrome. My best thinking at the moment revolves around hiring nieces and nephews with double jointed thumbs to write my messages while I dictate. 2EZ “Take a letter Maria.”

There is no possibility that U R8 this BLOG is ok or has 2 W8 2 CW @ U I think L8R or is this 2MI. Either way WYSIWYG
