Emails, text messages.
I understnd txt is gttn shrtr 2b savn on spc n tym. it’s gr8.
what I don’t understand is people with 3 letter names who sign off emails with the first letter of their name.
Is “S” really that much quicker than “Sam”?
I don’t understand why people do it, surely it’s not going to eat up into your twitter time so much that you can’t give me the courtesy of writing your whole name? And how do your parents feel? Pouring over baby books so that you have something as individual as your personality and you reduce your title to a one in twenty-six choice. I’m sure they’re pleased.
What grates me even more is when it’s accompanied by a full stop and a kiss. That’s 2 characters you could have used to complete your name, and chances are I don’t want your casually and electronically strewn kisses that you’ve been littering your emails with all day long.
Arrogance? Laziness? I’m familiar with Prince and his symbol, Sean “P Diddy” Coombs, but they are celebrities, and we expect, nay hope for them to have an out of perspective perception about their own image. But your mate Ian, Dan, Sam, Rob, Guy, what’s their excuse?
Thanks.
