Yes! I realized that mistake yesterday and quickly asked Laura to edit it for me. As it turns out, I’m not perfect, which is really going to hurt my mom’s feelings. :)

You have to be nice to me in other people’s homes. At least put on a front!

Stanley, the only thing I would add with spellcheck is to not rely solely on it. For instance, if I forgot the “L” in public, spellcheck wouldn’t pick that up and I’d be really embarrassed.

It’s is NOT possessive but does mean “it is”. I’m sure that was just an error but it sure popped out at me.

Oops, I slanged in pimpin’, didn’t I?

I try to be cognizant of my audience (was cognizant and good recovery from pimpin’?) as I want to be understood. It’s very easy for me to slip into slang or southern, but it just depends on who I’m with.

However, and the gist of your post is people don’t necessarily write to their audience; they write to what they know.

Is it the new norm and are we ‘old-school’ trying to hold the line?

I’m all about texting and Twitter and the like, but I don’t think it needs to make us lazy writers. It has no place in business, period.

Perhaps I’m just too old or too dense, but I can’t make head nor tail of text-speak and it has no place on business websites.
