Yep. I totally agree. Its sad that so many people these days are brainwashed into thinking that saying things like that are the norm. Society has certainly taken a turn for the worse in many categories. Very classless to describe your husband or wife as an object.
Still the worst of the worst I read right here on this site. A woman referred to her children as "my 2 little tax deductions"
Joking or not come on. No class. |

I haven't read all the posts, but what is "DD"? I only figured out DH from reading the first post here. Why don't people just say my husband or my wife?

Most often, when I've seen DD it stands for Dear Daughter (DS = Dear Son). ((Hahaha StuckPA )) |

I hate it all. I found myself using imho or imo and realized I too was falling into the trap of ending up possibly illiterate, so I quickly stopped. What's worse than the acronyms is the spelling, i.e. wud, wut up, etc.

Don't get me started on spelling! I guess a whole lot of people got their diploma by a means other than a series of written tests. The worst that burned into me was several years ago when a man I worked with told me he was leaving the company to start his own business. He said he was going to open his own restrawnt. I kid you not. He sent that to me in an email. I wondered if he was just joking but thought better of telling him how to spell it.

Are you sure it wasn't just a mistake? I've known some pretty articulate people to miss a spelling in email. |

I just turn a blind eye towards a lot of these things 'cause I'm so used to them now. And lolcats.. I love. So yeh, the slang doesn't really bother me. Howeverrrrrrr... numbers for letters? Or LEET!? Damn. Not my flavor.
H1, 1'm 4 v1r61n. or..
|-|1, 1'|\/| @ \/1|261|\|.
Why? This is not shorthand, nor does it make anyone's lives easier.. norrr does it resemble something someone would say aloud.
But it's all in fun..... (I suppose). *shrug*
