COMPLETELY unprofessional.

I know that "kids today" and even old fogies like myself are using some email slang, not using proper punctuation, leaving out letters for faster IM and text capabilities. However, I received this email from someone in another office. Seriously.

if u are referering to a dd2875, the IASO cn sign block 22,and g2 security manager completes part III.
G8 should have its own IASO. if u don't have one yet, I cn sign block 22.

It takes only a fraction of a second longer to type "you" than u. U is not appropriate. Cn is not can. Referering? This is ridiculous.
And this person did not answer my question.

  2. Totally unprofessional! Question - was this person using a crackberry or similar gadget when responding? If so, I MIGHT be able to see it, but still totally un-pro, IMHO (in my humble opinion)!!

  3. I wonder why they spelled out "are" and especially "one" since it has a legitimate one letter substitution, and then used cn for can?

    I hope I never learn this language, although I'm pretty sure ex-English teacher hubby will never let that happen.

  4. Sure won't!

    You'd be amazed at how poorly the average chiropractic student's grammar is these days. I proofread a lot of papers around here!

  5. Oh, how the irony hangs thick in the air. And I read that comment twice, just to be sure.
