My favorite parent line was "if your friends jumped off a cliff,
would you follow them". I also thought that was so dumb!!

I remember so well how my parents always corrected my grammar, and
I hated it and thought them so "out of touch". It is amazing how I
now see everything with my parents perspective!
My teen sons have been taking stupid teenage boy risks (like
picking up a downed power line, and jumping from high places), and
I am constantly yelling at them "How can you be so smart and so
stupid at the same time?", just as my parents did!

I'd be thrilled if they would just add the 'cents' symbol. Also,
people have already started dropping upper case letters. Those
who have dealt our sovereign language such a low blow will surely
burn in hell, Bruce. In hell, I tell you thee.

Hey, no use trying to turn back the hands of time. Before long
these acronyms will be allowed in schools, as will the use of "u"
for "you", and they will have to add a "heart symbol" to keyboards!
I know than revulses many of you (Kirby?) but English IS an ever-
evolving language. No doubt there were many people in the 1600s
decrying the then-current vulgar use of "you" for "thou" and
"have" for "hast", and look where that got them!

Before the advent of the internet and such acronyms as lol meaning
LAUGH OUT LOUD, in Australia, LOL meant only one thing as an
acronym.... LITTLE OLD LADIES.....
