Hubby and I are California born and bred, until we moved to Arizona 10 years ago. I know we were taught proper English many, many years ago. It drives me crazy to see how 'lazy' (for lack of a better word) some people have become in both the spoken and written word. Am I the only one who spells out words in my texts?
