The Changing Face of Writing

Have I become one of those "old men" who is resistant to change? I love texting. I believe e-mail was a brilliant invention that allows us to instantly connect with others across the globe.  Unfortunately, I also believe they have robbed us of our ability to write.  Don't get me wrong, I can LOL at a great joke, and OMG I cannot believe it snowed on May 3.  And U R correct if you think I'm being picky.  But for  Hvn Sk (Heaven's sake; I just made it up :), as my college coach, Mike Foster, used to tell me, you play the way you practice.  If you don't spell correctly and use proper punctuation in an email or text, what makes you think you will be able to turn it on when it really matters?!?!?! I know, I'm on a soap box, but let's face it, U prolly stopped rding a long time ago. And BTW, it's my blog, so I get to share MY thouts. Want 2 share yours? Leave a comment or, better yet, start your own blog. BUT FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING GOOD AND HOLY, spell it write (I mean right :)
