Am I getting old or what!
« on: June 21, 2015, 11:40:57 AM »
Nice, bespoke fathers day card from one of my daughters today.

Puzzled, I asked what she meant by the "less than three" symbol printed inside.  She was completely confused.

Eventually we worked out that <3 means a heart in text speak ... who knew!

I don't know what's worse me not knowing the text speak for heart or her not knowing the mathematical symbol for less than.

No we're not old it's just that we speak a different language.

  +1 on that one. They've typed it and sent it before I've even got to message select.

We know you're only a kid, l've been saying it for years and soon you'll be legally old enough to drive.
