There are certain rules that need to be posted about one of our most popular means of communication: the text message. The absolute number one rule should enforce the proper use of the English language. I understand you are a very busy person, but let's try and cut it out with the "wat u up 2?" and the "r u 4 real?" It is talk like this that is sending us back to 2ND grade English. Rule number 2 would follow closely behind the first. While we would like to discriminate texts that appear to be sent out by well educated monkeys, it should be encouraged to keep it somewhat casual. Signing your name at the end of each text message "Sincerely, Roberto," is not required. Maybe you should save that for the next time you decide to write me a formal letter on your personalized letterhead. Adversely, throwing in an "XoXo ~ Vanessa ~ XoXo" signature is also frowned upon. But what do I know?Cordially yours,
