RE: "Addy and other slang" (was If you don't want people toknowyour age...)

["Melissa Nelson" <melmis36 -at- hotmail -dot- com>]

  I confess to writing slang emails to certain friends...mainly if we
  are joking about something. I also went to grad school in Toronto and
  lived in "Da UP" of Michigan for 15 years and I will write "eh" in
  emails to my Yooper and Canuck friends! :)

  Have a good day and mind the gap eh!
