I'm with you too Lorena. It kills me when people type in text speak. Even when I send text messages I spell out every word along with using punctuation and capitalization. It's one of my pet peeves.
You made me smile! I knew you were articulate and intelligent, but I think of you as a "youngster", you know!
I still laugh when I think about the first time I met you- asking you how old you were before I let you have a beer!
