Sealed with a kiss

With the impending demise of the U.S. Postal Service, there is much talk of the lost art of letter writing.
There are alarmists lamenting the idea that one day no record of our 21st century lives will exist, which is ridiculous. It may not be printed, but what is on your computer screen does count as "the written word."
To me the primary concern is the disregard for style in trying to convey substance in a 60-character tweet.
I don't mind that emails are not delivered by a letter carrier to a metal mailbox attached to my house. I do not mind that I don't have an envelope to open. I don't even really mind that they are typed and not hand-written. And if I wanted a paper form, I can hit the "print" button. But what all this electronica does to our lives is impose a false urgency which has now become so pronounced that many of us can no longer be bothered to spell out entire words. Even words as little as YOU.
Nothing is so pressing that you can't take the time to ues the letters YO when spelling "your." The thing that people who get nostalgic about letter-writting really miss is that, once upon a time, we took twenty minutes out of our lives to write a letter. Next time ur sending a txt msg, think about that.
