I am an avid IMer. In fact, I have an account at Yahoo, through my email, that I use to keep in touch with family and friends in Michigan.
I just chatted with my mother last night, who shared some recipe from the Food Network Channel with me. She loves that channel, and while I don't mind cooking, I will admit my mother is much better than I am when it comes to that sort of thing.
I enjoy IMing, but I do think that the "age of IMing" is hurting the generation to a degree, because it allows for spelling things incorrectly which in turn gives people the idea that if they spell things incorrectly in letters, emails, papers, etc, it isn't a big deal, that the recipient(s) won't mind.
In other words, the lines between formal and informal terms of address have been blurred and proper etiquette has been set aside.
