Tee Hee vs LOL

Are you with the program? computer program, that is? My daughter sent me an email
that included "TeeHee", indicating she was laughing. I told her to get with the
program - it's LOL (laughing out loud). I proceeded to educate her further with G2G
- gotta go, B4N - bye for now, CYL - catch ya later, Zup - what's up, BRB - be
right back, AITR - adult in the room, AWESO - awesome. She was somewhat embarrassed
by her FATHER trying to get her in the "loop". What ever happened to complete words
and complete sentences? How are they teaching basic English and writing in the
schools today. Is there such a thing as the Palmer Method anymore? Teachers must
get thoroughly frustrated - or - maybe they now have the attitude, if you can't
fight them, join them - with RME - rolling my eyes.
