Do Not Shoot Me an Email

I like getting emails, but please refrain from "shooting" me an email. I don't know. I left the country for five years (this, by the way, is my excuse for everything), and while I was gone people started shooting each other emails. Ouch, it sounds so dangerous!

On the other hand, or as some ESL students might say--in the other hand, I like how people clip avenue and actually pronounce the abbreviation. I don't know if the clipping started before or after I left, but I love how it sounds. Just the other day someone said, "Oh, so it's on Orange AVE", and my little word loving heart skipped a beat.
