It's funny that you are complaining about guys abbreviating Mercedes with "Merc",.... while,.........you are abbreviating Mercury with "Merc". Lol.

But, you are correct,....everything is abbreviated nowadays.

The one I hate the most when texting or emailing,...or even conversing on forums is,....when someone responds to you with ...."K".

It's not enough to already be abbreviating the work "okay" with two letters... "OK'.

But now you have to shorten it to one letter... "K" ?

It makes me feel the person replying with that couldn't care any less about responding to you.

What's funny is your username, 67since67, considering how that number is used by the kids these days. Tell them you were cool before they even know what was cool, lol.
