1. Why would you use so many acronyms? Is it really so much more time consuming to write "my son" than "DS"? Just type what you mean people, it's only a few more characters.

Does anyone else find themselves wanting to use strike throughs in emails at work or is it just me?

I try strike throughs and grins in texts. Think that means I have a problem
