Anyway I've had so much stick from folks on here it's not worth getting my knickers in a twist about it - most people don't care so why should I...
We live in a world in which businesses offer "free gifts", service stations sell "frozen ice", where you must be 19 to buy smokes, and where, every thursday, Ultramar will sell you premium gasoline for -3 cents a litre And, if you are hungry, Rotten Ronnies is offering a great deal: Buy one cheeseburger at the regular price, and get a second one for .99 cents! Here's a penny, bud; keep the change But you are right; nobody gives a damn ... and text-speak is becoming so much the norm that nobody bats an eye when they (I know; I shouldn't use the plural pronoun. But nobody cares; so, why should I?) see signs offering "sdls grapes" for sale.
