This is it everyone. The defining moment when technology and sentimentality have finally come full circle. I am not talking emoticons here--I'm talking about geeky apologies and a full blown letterpress card which involves using 'Ctrl Z' instead of 'I'm sorry.'
What's next? Screaming 'F1' when drowning? 'Ctrl Alt Del' when trying to get your ex to go back out with you?
Damn kids and their abbreviated computer codes. What ever happened to the good ol' days of sex and rock and roll... I mean, ==>() and d-_-b ? And no, I will not 'Ctrl Z' for saying this... or for my terrible sex emoticon.
Oh who am I kidding? I'm actually all 4 it. Hooray for Techlish! (You think that will catch on?)
