02: it's time for lunch! W8 for me... or WYCM?
Text and IM (instant messaging) are generating a whole new language, one that may not be understood by everyone. Before you IM the work group at your internship, consider the readership. In the first place, they may not be able to translate your meaning. In the second place, they may be irritated with the non-formal language being part of office communications.
Translation:
My two cents' worth: it's time for lunch! Wait for me... or will you call me?
