Are you a mind reader? I will use whatever language I think is appropriate for the given situation. I will not allow you to police my language or force your opinion on me. Phrases like RTFM are a part of computer jargon, for a reason. The infamous f-word is a part of the English language for a reason. Those abbreviations and words would not exist if there was no need for them. You, as a self appointed language police are beginning to bore me so I will end this debate right here.
