In response to RubyTues comment on AOL speak, I have been known to pick up a dictionary (I find American Heritage works best) and bludgeon a person until they are reduced to pulp for sending me an email that reads; OMG LOL U2?

One may not be wealthy enough to purchase a bar of soap or a tank of gas - however the use of good manners is totally a freebie and will definitely get you further than the soap or gas.
