I guess I am damaged by my training. I have been so linguist-inundated that when I see the texting I generally go into decode mode and chug through it. This is something I have basically had to do since i started working with languages and later with therapy since I was 17. I don't get much of an irritation from it, but if I am very tired I tend to skip over and come back when the wiring works better.

Fun facts about grammar: all you prescriptive grammar folks: are you aware that most of our grmammar texts are STILL based on LATIN grammars that were written by "educated" folks who had lots of training in Latin, but none in their native tongues? The result was an understanding of grammar that had no relation to the fact that English as a mainly Germanic language had a different structure than Latin. This gave us, among other things, the rule that you can't separate infinities. It was once done even in "proper" Enlish, but is impossible to do in Latin and therefore banned. Thank the Georgetown priests for that bit of historical (or hysterical) linguistics.
Good night Mr. and Mrs. America and all the ships at sea. Huggs too!
