But was it really that hard to type DInc are now available at Fry's in Las Vegas?

Took me like 30 seconds

Took me less time that that! :D

Of course, we do now live in a world where "text speak" is pretty common. It annoys the crap out of me that people have to say "thx" instead of "thanks", "2nite" instead of "tonight" or any other number of stupid little acromyns.

Ya I'm right along with you on the acronym thing in normal conversation but what can you do it is easier to write/type and people are lazy (I know I am) so they go the easy route :p

I guess I can't complain too much because I do use some of the more common ones, such as LOL, FWIW and IMO. But that's because it really is a lot faster to type IMO than it is to type "in my opinion".

I just really don't like shortened words. It makes me sad for the younger generations and I feel a great deal of sympathy for teachers. I have a friend who is an english teacher and he regularly gets papers with leet speak or text speak in them.

And I really hate it when I see acronym's that are so long and confusing that I have to look them up! :D
