My 18 year old son can type crazy fast on his iPhone with two fingers... but he is crazy slow on a regular keyboard. LOL Compare that with my 24 and 22 year old daughters, who are both crazy fast on a regular keyboard AND crazy fast on their iPhones. I can still beat them on a keyboard (just barely), but it's fun when we race. :) Travis On 1/27/2017 9:14 AM, Adam Moffett wrote: I thought so too until I saw a kid in the office hunt and peck with 2 fingers on each hand.

Maybe assume he is abbreviating "Usted" which is the more polite or honorific form of "you" in Spanish. In which case, you deserve at least a 20% raise. Or he could go back to "you" which is short for "hey, you" and keep your pay the same. It's up to him, but if you're an Usted, you deserve to be paid accordingly. It's a small price for all the typing he's avoiding, not to mention the prestige of having an Usted on the payroll. -Original Message- From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of Faisal Imtiaz Sent: Friday, January 27, 2017 10:34 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT: Why does txt spk bother me so?

You're old like me. I can almost understand some abbreviation in text but when I see things like ur in emails or other more formal communications I cringe as well. Even worse for me is when people actually verbally say things like LOL or that just TMI.
