- And your point would be…? Be concise. Get to the point. Answer all the questions the first time. Don’t make me ask again.
- You halve a spell chequer. It comes with your Pea Sea. Plz don’t abbrvt. FYI—U 2 can take the time to write the entire word. THX. Use proper spelling, grammar and punctuation.
