Yeah, I'm old but I know how to ....

I'm going to go with a wild assumption that a vast majority of the folks who post on the WC forum are older than 12. Can we please not use '2' for 'to' or 'too'? Another one is '4' for 'for'. Let's add 'R' for 'are' while we're at it.
I'm sure I'll get trashed by some but seeing people use "2", "4", and 'R' because they're too lazy to hit one or two more keys or trying to look "cool" (you don't) is a pet peeve of mine. I'm old school, I know, but come on!
If you don't want to capitalize, that's fine. e e cummings never did and he did fairly well for himself. I highly doubt using '2', '4', or 'R' constantly will win any awards for anyone.

The one here is for amateurs Jafo. Not motor bikes, bicycles. Starts out with a kiddie race at 5 but there is a pro race at 8 pm.

Let's face it John, the vast majority of people nowadays are illiterate due to our education system, especially here in the US. Changing student's test grades so they will pass even ( http://www.christianpost.com/news/teachers-get-caught-cheating-in-atlanta-51919/ )! Extremely sad, but true, and I am sure it happens all over the US too.

Carguy, I don't care who you are, that's funny.
Tom, you're probably correct.
Using '2' instead of 'to' isn't cool no matter how you slice and dice it. Let's call it what it is: it's being childish and/or lazy.

I must be old,... I can barely remember when I used to know how to.

Mine's attair. (that thar) It's either that or there, not both. It's a southern thing. 
...go a week without talking on a phone.
...stalk, kill, prepare and cook my own dinner.
...respect my elders.
Agreed...except instead of killing my dinner I'll get it out of my garden. I love animals...all of 'em. If it meant survival though, yeah, there's no doubt about it...

Nah...never too too much. Loosen up your tickle button dude. Weekends almost here and we got a bike race on Saturday. Iron Hill Twilight Criterion. Tons of fun, food and a bazillion people all crowded in a three block area.
