The Older I get the Less I Can Stand Teenagers!
Other than the part about proper sentence construction.
I was not necessarily talking about proper sentence construction. I'm talking about shortening words by 2-4 letters to the point that unless you know what is meant, it is unreadable, as if that is saving any amount of time that is noteworthy.

Not that I mean to offend anyone with a generalization.[/quote]
Well, it's not "people of all ages, especially non-teenagers, tossing terrible grammar, spelling, usage, sentence structure, bad arguments, leaps of logic, strained interpretations, misunderstandings of obvious facts and other unreadable blather all over SR.com, and then complaining about the spelling and grammar police," it was the generalizations. I'm sure you knew that, and were using a veiled attempt to attack my point of view. I'm fine with that, I don't get upset over what someone types. Words cannot hurt someone unless they let them. My motivation was to get Joe to see it like I did and not get all bent out of shape just because a couple of people on the internet said something that upsets him. After the first time he stated it, it should have been dropped, and we ALL should have moved onward. That did not happen. Instead he harped on it, and I tried to help. This will be my last reply to this matter; please try to understand, I'm tired of this stupid nonsense that has thread jacked this particular thread. If any further comments are deemed necessary, then pm me with them. Other than that, my last words for this reply are, WHO DAT!!
