RE: Grammar. Does It Still Have Its Place?

It infuriates me when I see people in professional roles using text speak or just being lazy - it hardly saves any time overall, and really spoils the impression you may give to others.

I get my sneezes at awkward times - mine are really loud, and try as I might I cannot make them quiet. So naturally, I sneeze when in classrooms and in quiet places, or when I'm trying to watch a movie with friends. Never when I'm in a noisy environment or in the middle of nowhere!
