My Google task bar has a spell check on it. I really appreciate that so many try to communicate clearly. I find misspelling distracting and I loose the sense of a message. I guess I am lucky that my nieces and nephews are tolerant of their old fashioned aunt. The generations have always had a gap in communicating but I am afraid with these new devices that gap is going to be a chasm. I do not know how much the shortcuts taken in writing is spilling over into speech, but eventually it will. To me even the simplest are ambiguous: LOL (used here frequently): does that mean Laugh Out Loud or Lots of Luck?
