Dear BFF,
It took me a while to figure out that the world was
changing. The age of acronyms was superseding that of aphorisms. You could con
a phrase, twist it one way and then the next and before long you were texting
rapidly in an unknown language that had descended upon the horizon as if you’d
walked into an apiary. You were either alienated from it or caught in the
groove when you saw the new age people dancing in rhythm to this tune that
you’d never heard before.
I’ve got my own
proclivities but who hasn’t. Now all I hear is OMG, LOL, BTW, I’m practically
lost in this world most times as I need a translator to decipher code and
explain to me what message I have just received. Still I’m not on a warpath
here but seeking a détente. I’m willing to shake hands if this is restricted to
text messaging. I understand it’s simple and easy to get one’s message out
rapidly. However I draw the line at emails.
BFF or
otherwise, I say stop this madness else you won’t receive my reply because I
just can’t be bothered.
Yours truly
The relic
