Thanks Jon. It was written after I had consumed 4 Ceasar's last night. (Weird, but most of the Americans I've met don't know what a Ceasar is ('cept the casinos in Vegas)....anyone here know what I'm talkin' about?)<BR>

Hi guys,<BR>
<BR>
Just a little conversation starter....<BR>
<BR>
What do y'all think about the use of hyphenated abbreviations such as b/c(for because) or w/o for(with out), etc. in poetry and prose? <BR>
<BR>
Just wondering, 'cause I'm not sure how I feel about them myself.

T.J.; I was gonna say salad ha but thats too obvious and why the heck would you have four..ha so it must be a drink concoction of some sort..whats in it?<BR>
<BR>
I don't like abbreviations of things in poetry but if it works for you I say go for it..ha<BR>
