With an international audience participating in these types of forum, I would suggest that the use of this "cell Phone" type shorthand is bordering on bad manners! We are not all from the same country, even if English is our native tongue--and we are all not young--having to ask our grandchildren for explanations is not pleasant. AND, I am surprised at some of the people who do use this cryptic spam!! Would everyone note that AT LAST someone is speaking out --can you imagine how it is for those for whom English is a second language. DAD HAS SPOKEN!
