Passing on a few acronyms for curmudgeons that were passed on to me at a story telling event when I used the acronym AYFKWATS (Are you f*** kidding me with all this shit), which comes in very handy when talking to (at) your compute.

There are some senior acronyms:

TTYL = talk to you louder

WIWYA = when I was your age

IMHO = in my hearing-aid on

Liza: These are gold! And, so appropriate for those of us who have achieved “senior status.”

I wrote the same article over at Ageist a year ago. It's so confusing and in truth who cares? It is part of the vernacular or texting vernacular which just shows how stupid we are and so willingly! I hate hate hate texting. It is the laziest, and most wasteful form of communication. It is also so easily misinterpreted and having to parse the meaning of a text is self destructive . And that's all I have to say about that.

I agree with you, Gail - texting is not communicating at all.
