The English language has evolved for centuries to be more expressive and now because we have lazy , fat thumbs, and even poorer attention spans, we have no command over it. Mabey Im just OLD!!

I'm guilty of using LOL and TTYL when I am chatting, and I use some acronyms on message boards. The hashtag thing, though, drives me nuts, too. There was an e-book that I downloaded onto my Kindle and I deleted it because the author used that hashtag crap. My fiance told me about a speech that a faculty member gave at the school where he works, and apparently that speech was full of hashtags. I get that people use it on Twitter, but why in a publication or in a speech? Makes no sense to me.
