TEXT TALK
This is one of my pet peeves. Especially for people that have a qwerty keyboard on their phone. It really upsets me when people use text talk while on the computer because I KNOW you have a qwerty keyboard right in front of you. Please refrain from text talk with in this mentorship. We are an intellectual mentorship, so we should present ourselves that way. If you do not know how to spell something, Dictionary.com is an amazing resource or you could ask someone.
So in short, NO TEXT TALK HERE! :)
