I am embarassed to be alive
Speaking of shortcuts
Greg Edwards, 14, a student at Bellarmine College Preparatory, dismisses IM speak as ``annoying'' but he knows his ``Ess ar why'' from his ``Tee tee why el'' (Talk to you later). He has heard other kids say ``Colon dash parenthesis'' when they are happy. Yes, they say the keyboard symbols to make a sideways happy face :-).

At least kids know what all the punctuation symbols are called. I bet a lot more kids now know what underscores and semicolons mean.
LOL and BRB and so forth are not so bad (well, they are, but still), but if someone tried apologize by saying SRY, I think that would piss me off
