Quote: AxiomOfChoiceMy point (in case it was too subtle -- it probably was) is that we all respect Axel around here. We know that he is a smart guy and a good gambler, even if he can't spell for shit.
So, even if Jennie couldn't spell, I don't see what the big deal would be. And, she makes a good point -- taking shortcuts when typing messages does not mean that someone can't spell. Give her a break.
I happen to completely agree with you. I was just trying to be cute......subtlety is clearly not my strong suit :)

I think is very common these days for the young folk to use lots of abbreviations and acronyms when writing anything on a smart phone. Personally, I only learned what LOL meant a few months ago, so don't ask me for any such translations.
LOL has at least three distinct meanings as an acronym.

my mother started texting about 2 years ago. She would write LOL at the end of a lot of messages. Someone finally asked her why she was doing that and her answer was, "Because I like to say lots of love sometimes."

Moms shouldn't text, some of these are pretty funny:
