Hey, I used to have an 18 foot-long Vulva!

Buckeyes.

HAHA Peggy, see that is what I am talking about…. see if you can avoid saying Vulva every time you see a volvo now LOL

Meeeeal.

I'm with ya on that one, David.

"I agree with alla yous."  --> There's another one for the language-challenged pile.

Never the less, I agree with you all.

My mother worked for the Chicago Tribune and helped to enforce proper grammar and use of the English language while we grew up.  It's a blessing and a curse.

In so far as texting, I think it has reduced the language skills of the young people in the USA.  I'm not sure of the impact in the rest of the world, but I can see my nieces struggling with writing, spelling and grammar.  By regularly sending messages and communicating with reduced characters and cryptic words, it reinforces bad language habits.

Since we're talking about texting, I hate it when there's a social situation and somebody is completely disengaged with the human interaction and engrossed in handheld device. 

I call them "Text Tards."  They act like they're retarded.  If you watch them, you might see one of them actually walk in to a wall or something.

Lastly, according to a segment on National Public Radio (NPR) about words that most annoy people, the #1 most hate word is "moist."

Hey, it's OK to be it, just don't say it!
