A collection of very strong opinions about very small things

Are you the kind of person who uses the shorthand “u”? I always wonder how much time you think you’re saving by spelling one of the most commonly used words in the English language “u” instead of “you.”
I’m sorry, that’s a big, red no for me. Talk with derech eretz! Type like you would talk to a teacher or parent or grandparent! It’s not that hard!
No “u,” no “ur.” And while we’re at it, don’t start a sentence with “u,” either. No “u going to the hishenbrunners vort??” Instead, try “Are you going to the Hishenbrunners’ vort?” It sounds so much better!
Oh, wait. Possibly more important: Don’t ever, ever, ever add more than one question mark to the end of a sentence. Please! Spare me the agmas nefesh!! (My two exclamation points here are absolutely called for and necessary.)
