^Doesn't work. My daughter basically thinks I'm an old fart whose conservative opinions may be slightly amusing on some superficial level but that cannot possibly compete with the hard facts as delivered by her peers.
Oh kids

I am in a privileged position - as an older brother. I can say the _Exact_ same lessons as my dad tell my sisters, but they will take me seriously, cus I'm not "a dad"

Just yesterday my teen sister messaged me on facebook, but using this horrendous over-trendy, almost unreadable "text-speek" - and I'm no old grump, I am liberal, but THAT was too damn much, besides she is highly intelligent, this is far below her - so I told her directly

Wtf is this, you KNOW how to type better right? It simply does not look good to type like that, it looks less intelligent - less educated.
And she wrote back that I was absolutely right, and that she in fact knew how to write correctly

Not even demanding she write totally correctly either, dialect is fine - but at least make it possible to comprehend
