[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 350036, member: 12570"] This has been and will continue to be a pet peeve of mine. Grunt brings up a good point--save the text for your cell. Here at the Brown Cafe we don't charge for messages so please feel free to use all of the letters in the alphabet when typing your posts. Seriously, it doesn't take that much longer to type all of the letters that these words were born with so please, if only for old-timers like me, grunt and others, type out the words. I may be asking too much here but it would also help if you used capitalization, punctuation and (god forbid) proper grammar and contextual clarity. I read an interesting report that showed that nearly 1/3 of HS students have begun to incorporate text abbreviations in to their term papers and reports, and this has begun to creep in to college work as well. Students are also taking the shortcut of citing Wikipedia as a source when it is well known that anyone can post anything that they want on Wikipedia and it is then deemed as factual. Now, back to the original point of the thread. You handled it quite well and I would hope that it would stop there but I don't think that it will. You may have to step it up a notch, perhaps to include a "chat" with this person after work. It would be one thing if this person were offering constructive criticism which would help you do your job more effectively but it sounds like she is trying to be your boss and that is not her role and she needs to back off.
