What is up with the people who are logged in at this site and are using shortcuts as if they are texting? I don't want to spend my time to figure out what someone is trying to say if they are using something like: I2MOK4D8. Is that a license plate number? To me stuff like that makes me think that the person is lazy, illiterate or both. I don't use instant messaging that much, never go into chat rooms, and texting for me is just a big hassle. The only time I use texting is when the office sends me information abut a job I when I have my hands full or am busy. I don't see the point in using it or spelling errors. When a person is sitting at a computer, it is very easy to type what you need to say into your favorite word processor, check spelling and grammar, copy and paste it, to leave a message.

Just a pet peeve of mine.

You can criticize me all you want for posting this. If it makes you happy, here is more ammunition for you: I am 51 years old, a male and have extremely long hair (down to my belt).

On the other hand I have a very good job and have been with the same company since 1993.

Have fun.

Otherwise I find that most of the people and advice hare at this forum are very nice and respectful.

P.S.
If anyone knows German they will know what Nein is. It is not a spelling error.

hare (hâr)
n.
Any of various mammals of the family Leporidae, especially of the genus Lepus, similar to rabbits but having longer ears and legs and giving birth to active, furred young.

What happened to your grammar and spell checking or do we now have a long eared rabbit giving out advice?

I was wondering if anyone would catch that. Thank you for being so diligent. Point proven.

Bugs Bunny is an animated rabbit/hare who appears in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of animated films produced by Warner Bros. Cartoons. Today, he is the corporate mascot for Warner Brothers, especially its animated productions.

First appearance: A Wild Hare, July 27, 1940

Rabbit or hare?
The animators throughout Bugs' history have treated the terms rabbit and hare as synonymous. Taxonomically they are not synonymous, being somewhat similar but observably different types of lagomorphs. Hares have much longer ears than do rabbits, so Bugs might seem to be of the hare family, and many more of the cartoon titles include the word "hare" rather than "rabbit". It is probably easier to make a pun from "hare" than from "rabbit". Within the cartoons, although the term "hare" comes up sometimes (for example, Bugs drinking "hare tonic" to "stop falling hare"), Bugs as well as his antagonists most often refer to the bunny as a "rabbit". The word "bunny" is of no help in answering this question, as it is also a synonym for either hares or rabbits.

The name "Bugs" or "Bugsy" as an old-fashioned nickname means "crazy" (or "loopy"). Several famous people from the first half of the twentieth century had that nickname. It is now out of fashion as a nickname, but survives in 1950s-1960s expressions like "you're bugging me", as in "you're driving me crazy".

I agree with you. I sit there sometimes trying to figure out what they are saying by trying to sound it out...but that doesn't always work either...I am older than you and maybe it is a generational thing with me...but just spell it out so I don't have to ask what you are writing about. Thank you.
