But this IS how a lot of high school students and college students communicate these days -- heavily shortened and abbreviated text, troll or not. And a lot of people don't know any differently about being discreet about which sorority they would like to join because they have no experience with the Greek system.

I'm not excusing it completely... but we should be prepared for more posters like this in the next few years. They've grown up on texting.

Don't worry - we'll be sure to set them straight. Their term papers may look like someone cut and pasted an IM together, but they're not going to last long on GC posting like that.

Or in college or at a job.

"Ur" is an ancient city in Mesopotamia. I'm sick of idiots besmirching its name everywhere.
