BRB. TGTBT. LOL. BFF. If you don't understand a word or letter I just wrote, you're not missing anything. We, myself included, have gotten lazy with the whole abbreviation thing. I mean, am I really that busy to actually write a proper letter in an email form? No. Does typing four more letters to finish a word hurt my fingers? I don't think so. Faster and more efficient, email has changed how we communicate and speak. For the most part, I am a big fan. However, I must admit when I open my mailbox (my actual snail mailbox in my apartment building) and see a letter with handwriting on the front, my day gets better. The writing and sentiment comes through the prose with much more meaning. While email is here to stay, I will make an effort to stop butchering the English language and send more hand written notes. Sound perf?
TGIF - I said I would make an effort, not change entirely...happy weekend!
