return text: k

i mean, really? it almost makes me feel guilty for bothering the person in the first place… obviously, if they don’t have the TIME to punch the “o”, “a” and “y” buttons, i have very little faith that they are going to be able to handle the time restraints of the CONVERSATION ITSELF.

I didn't spell it out, at all. I simply said, "LOL," or "lawl," if you will. I’m afraid I am not ITK (in the know) on the correct articulation of all Text-in-Conversation rules.

I think this practice is completely stupid, but then again, I insist on using proper capitalization and punctuation in all of my IM/texting/internetting, save for comedy/ironic posts.
