OMG! WTF! ROFLMAO! SOS! DOD! ISO! C3P0! 2FAST2FURIOUS! AVP!
Cellphones, instant messaging, e-mail and the like have encouraged younger users to create their own inventive, quirky and very private written language. That has given them the opportunity to essentially hide in plain sight. They are more connected than ever, but also far more independent.Dear New York Times,
That "inventive, quirky, and very private written language" is a simple phonetic substitution with a couple of abbreviations. If Mom & Dad can't crack it, the problem isn't that they're old, it's that they're retarded.
Love,

Thanks for the inspiration. I was having trouble coming up with an article and this one gave me what I needed.
