Language Peeve

OUr first post is supposed to highlight a language based pet peeve.  Don, for example, doesn't like it when people confuse fewer  and less.  I have no particular thing that really gets on my nerves, but I choose the use of texting abbreviations in formal writing.  If a student is writing a paper, or a colleague is sending a public email, then it should not include "u" in place of "you" or "thx" in place of "thanks."
