I hate to be a typing cop, but punctuation and capitalization goes a LONG way. I stopped reading this post 1 line in. I am sure other will too.

Texting has ruined typed communications forever! The accepted texting abbreviations creep into everyday life more and more. I even had a person say something and follow the sentence with "LOL".

Yea, I can accept some "poor" grammar if you're a non-English speaking soul, but, this is pretty bad.

LOL has been part of the **english** language for at least 15 years.

It appears in the daily newspapers all the time.

I remember when people started saying "CD player" and "personal computer" in everyday conversations. Man, it really irks me how our language keeps evolving.

"personal" and "computer" have been words for literally hundreds of years.
