Because it's so difficult to understand what everyone is trying to say!
What am I talking about?
It took me a while to get through this article because I had a hard time figuring out what some of the abbreviations were supposed to mean and because I couldn't bear to look at it for more than a few minutes. I hope to GOD that it never becomes the norm to stop capitalizing the beginning of sentences.
What can I possibly do to make sure this never happens, at least not during my lifetime? Sadly, many employers, as noted in the article, are accepting this way of communicating and it IS becoming the norm. I swear if I ever run a business, or my own practice, it will be very clear to my employees or co-workers that they should never send me an email in this kind of shorthand, or any for that matter.
If people want my respect, they have to earn it, and that includes at least making some attempt to appear intelligent and cognizant of the way adults should behave and communicate.
I think I need a drink...
