I must agree with Katie on this one. The internet and chat rooms are greatly
contributing to the younger generation's poor use of grammar and spelling.
I play an online game regularly which includes a chat window.  The majority
of the players are rather young (I'm not) and their use of grammar and
spelling leaves a lot to be desired.  I refuse to use all the shortcuts,
just in the hope of setting a bit of an example.  Despite Mike B's request
to "give Adam a break", I was impressed that Adam chose to quit using
abbreviations.
