WWA Info Exchange

I just received the message below from my granddaughter who is away at college. I got the Gigi part which is what she calls my wife, her grandmother.

<3 has always meant a number less than 3 to me, but there seems to be something else afoot here, especially since I know that her and math have a very distance relationship. Also they do not seem to teach basic English construction in college anymore........(sometimes I feel like a doddering old fellow in a cartoon.)

Apparently, I am committed to taking her somewhere the next time she is home which I am happy to do because she hangs on my arm like an ornament and makes all the other old foggie strangers green with envy. Daughters and granddaughters are nice to have.

<3 is a heart. Meaning (in this context) I love you grandpa.

Texting with proper sentence structure can lead to expensive cell phone bills.

Thanks for the interpretation--I'm sure my newphew and his wife already knew what <3 was, and Aunt Verna would have had absolutely no idea what they were talking about

Hey, Jess.....it still does mean "less than 3" to me, too

Larry, don't feel bad brother, you're in real good company here.

Gene, YES!

I think that texting while driving should be a federal offence punishable by road side execution.

I just don't see the reason for texting at all. In the time it takes to text someone, I could call them, speak in plain english and be fully understood.

Now, I can understand text messages that use all the short hand because texting with only a 10 key pad is a RPITA. What really fries my backside, is when I see the same coded messages and no punctuation on emails. There's no excuse for it when you have a full keyboard sitting in front of you.

Do they still teach typing in HS?
