Not only are you making yourself look stupid, but you're making it hard to decypher what the hell you kids are trying to say! It doesn't have anything to do with being English teachers, it has something to do with sounding like you have at least one-third of a brain, and writting so educated people could read it! Some of us aren't used to, and don't like reading Jive-a-nese, so take some of that crack money and go get Hooked on Phonics!! You're making your mamma look bad, like she didn't raise you with any brains!!
