From time to time I post in this space a pet peeve, aka a frequent occurrence that annoys the hell out of me.
This one involves messaging-whether it be text messages, Facebook messages or comments and emails. The problem is the number of misspelled words people let go through. Sometimes I get messages from people that literally make no sense whatever. It's bad enough I have to try to figure out Internet shorthand language, i.e. LOL, SYL, LMAO, IDK, etc. Now I have to proofread a person's misspelled message and try to figure out what they mean. Actually I don't do that anymore. I usually ignore it and wait for them to jostle me at which time I reply I didn't understand the first one.
Why is it so hard to proofread and then correct auto correct? Well, it's not hard. It's just time consuming and people are in a hurry.
So there's my pet peeve for the day. I can assure you, there will be more-not that I'm becoming a cranky old man or anything.
