While the OP may be a bit finicky on this subject, I can relate some. I get ticked when I get an e-mail message from my over 30 child that writes in that text message style you know the one such as cul8tr or some crap like that. Its a natural extension of the texting society we are a part of. I also think in business a lot of acronyms spill out into daily use. Give the man a break or he might HTFU and KYA.
