If only I could capture the energy of my grandmother spinning in her grave...

My grandmother was an English teacher and a very, very smart woman who was a role model for a lot of people. With that in mind, I give you this IM conversation with my eldest child.

I said: Have you done your chores?
I said: Have you done your chores?
I said: (Trash and dishes)

I said: I am going to ground you from the Xbox and the comput if you continue to mutilate the English language.

Whenever I encounter that in Second Life, I tend to stop talking to the person in question.

Thankfully, I haven't really encountered anyone who insists on talking like that all the time. Not even the one friend who I see at the Tracks Rock Band nights who texts me every week to see if I'll be there.
