Have some "patients", we can't all be English teachers, which I unfortunately am. Sad

So true...at the same time I read an article a while back that some schools are begining to accept "l33t" speak and cell phone words like that for writting language...can't remember where it was mentioned.

Something about students were writing essays using the language so frequently, that the teachers began to accept it.
