Yeah, I'm old but I know how to ....

I'm going to go with a wild assumption that a vast majority of the folks who post on the WC forum are older than 12. Can we please not use '2' for 'to' or 'too'? Another one is '4' for 'for'. Let's add 'R' for 'are' while we're at it.

I'm sure I'll get trashed by some but seeing people use "2", "4", and 'R' because they're too lazy to hit one or two more keys or trying to look "cool" (you don't) is a pet peeve of mine. I'm old school, I know, but come on!

If you don't want to capitalize, that's fine. e e cummings never did and he did fairly well for himself. I highly doubt using '2', '4', or 'R' constantly will win any awards for anyone.

There's no chance on Earth... er, in the universe of that.

Like me, you lost that handicap a long time ago and now lead a happier kind of existence.

By the way, another pet peeve of mine is people saying "warsh" in stead of "wash".

Mine's attair. (that thar) It's either that or there, not both. It's a southern thing.

Agreed...except instead of killing my dinner I'll get it out of my garden. I love animals...all of 'em. If it meant survival though, yeah, there's no doubt about it...
