Sadly it is true.. I have a Russian friend who speaks English badly and with a heavy accent.
Guess where she works and what she does?

See, this is why no text speak... what is normal to you, others might not be familiar with.
Just the other day, I got a bbm message from my niece and at the end she wrote SMHID… I was like what the heck? I had no time to google it, so I asked her what it meant and to my dismay she wrote back LMAOSHMSFOAIDMT....I have not googled it and don’t wanna ask her lest she sends another one.

How do people come up with these things?

I'm thinking... Whatever!

C'mon. It was funny, now that you've had time to think about it. Not that funny, but funny enough, don't you think?
