Everything is going to initials. I personally hate it. I would much rather spell it out.

Funny thing is, though, our auto correct often puts in the wrong information anyway. I am learning to check and recheck my messages before I send. LOL

I know much faster to spell properly, agree my view it's ridiculous.
Learnt some speed writing back in the day, and now obscalet but my hand wants to automatically abbreviate.

So if you need the dictionary search call on me, i'll look it up for you..
