Am I just getting old - or is it impossible to read the IM language? I rarely am able to get through an entire question on this site if it's written in this slang.

~The IM language doesn't bother me as much as trying to translate questions that appear to be written in some ancient text, because they sure aren't conforming to any known English grammar and spelling rules that I was taught in school.
You may be getting old like the rest of us, but at least you write a coherent question. What a pleasure to read it!

LOL!! I agree. Unfortunately, the IM and email language is spilling into schools. Because of the abbreviated language, kids have difficulty spelling.

I agree to a point.
The gang-ghetto slang bothers me more, makes the responder sound stupid and trashy

Most chatting adds up to saying lol every minute and calling eachother names just to make it more interesting.
And yes,you also may be getting too old......lol
