I agree completely. It would be unprofessional. There is no dispute there. What I have found however is that communication has evolved, or should I say people have evolved. Many University English departments have been vocal in the degredation of language in communications. I however see it as communication evolving.

Just like little the things, IMHO, as per above is one such change. And the language shortcuts used in SMS another. Up here we have alot of problems with kids who spell in SMS speake. It would not surprise me if in a generation our kids may have problems understanding us.

what a world.  by the way thanks for all your great work with Hugh et al.
