Twitter? What is that? I heard birds in my garage this morning and they were twittering around.... Our younger members (I am 52) should remember this is not a place like Twitter and is a bit more formal. Not a lot but a little. I believe we have had twitterers on the board and they usually get told this isn't twitter. You can either write a sentence and understand your environment or eventually you won't have fun here. That's just my opinion.

Of course, short answers and acronyms and so forth are fine, but twitter-like ramblings should be kept to a bare minimum (*again, imo)

Lastly, I love Honda cars. I drive an Accord and my daughter drives a Civic and I am probably going to get her a CRV next year when she goes off to school- great cars!!

Steve, this made me laugh out loud (I intentionally avoided typing "LOL" ). I do this sometimes, but I only really text with my friends. My dad doesn't know how to text and isn't planning to learn.

I have always splurged and used the extra letter to spell 'Haha'. But maybe it should be 'Lots of Haha'?

Could we invent our own Net54baseball language and only go with hh ? I mean all of that extra work in typing the "a"s isn't really necessary is it?

Huh, well that explains things. I always thought LOL meant "Lots of Love." (kidding, I'm just kidding)
