Hi,

Thanks! I'm just being practical with the idea that people should try or make an effort when communicating with others. Too many times people tend to fall into the trap of 'slang' or 'GenerationSpeak'. Not to say that language development is wrong but when the 'slang' contaminates then that's the wrong part. Look at 'ebonics' and what it has done here in the U.S. Add to that 'netspeak' and you really have a communication nightmare.
