I guess today it's not as important as it once was. Texting certainly has created a new vocabulary and a new way to communicate.
I pointed out to the powers that be, at work, that their new sign for the Receiving Dock, already installed for the world to see, was spelled incorrectly. Recieving Dock doesn't say much about a company's eye for detail, now does it?
