I read a few pages and it was very annoying, and way too salacious for a teen novel in my opinion.<br /><br />Some of these acronyms make it easier to curse or speak rudely because you're not really saying it, just using the shorthand. I see it as another roadblock to interpersonal communication brought on by modern technology. <br /><br />I love technology, but I don't want it to replace traditional, more personal forms of communication. I try to use those acronyms sparingly.Blush a.k.a.

Laziness aside, it constitutes a complete contempt for the rules of language, which is why English is so messed up in the first place. Furthermore, it's just plain stupid, and so are the people who use it.<br /><br />HOWEVER, in defense of using it in an eBay item title, the amount of characters you can use is limited. So maybe they were out of space as to what they could type. Unless of course the title was short, in which case we're back to stupid.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13342192635635750418noreply@blogger.com
