People who post messages about Global Warming here. People who post messages saying, "my program does not work, please give me a solution". People who forget to post the CCC. Anyone else who irritates me.

I GUESS I AM TOO OLD. I believe that Cell Phones should only be used for making and receiving calls, Idiots who text while they are driving should be imprisoned. So I guess I do hate texting and "text speech" In all its forms. Acronyms about technical things and concepts are poor communication. They are easily misinterpreted and confusing for those unacquainted with the concepts or devices they are meant to refer to, and force many, myself included, into too many Wikipedia lookups. I also wonder are those that use them trying to show that they are "insiders" and "belong". I guess it is just a generational thing. I also would like to point out that I enjoy and look forward to your "Thought for the Day".
Help stamp out Acronyms. Texting is Evil.

I literally failed to understand a single acronym you used. Please see my response to the Original Griff. I don't know what you tried to tell me but right back at you.

I'm guessing you are younger than I am - but I don't like txtspk either, particularly when you have access to a "proper" keyboard and can actually type... And it does seem to be dying, except among idiots since it's harder to type txtspk into a modern phone than it is to use English (thanks to the equally idiotic autocorrect). Text messages have their place: think of them as an email that goes "ping!" pretty immediately and they are genuinely useful. "I'm stuck in a meeting, be late for supper" and so forth. I also use them to talk to friends who can't use a phone at work. And texting while driving is something I have never been guilty of: for most of the time in the early days of text I was on a motorcycle, and you just can't text in big thick Kevlar gloves... :laugh:

I'll bet I'm older than you. I'll be 69 in a few months. how about you. I am way too un-coordinated to ride a motor bike or any 2 or 3 wheeled vehicle.
I don't know. I just don't.
