You went to the movies too?

Remember the old joke:
Child to parent: “Me and him went to the movies.”
Parent to child: “I believe that he and I went to the movies.”
Child to parent: “Oh, you went to the movies too?” 
Where has the courtesy gone? What happened to putting others first? Why can’t we learn to respect each other? Please don't use “me and... (pronoun)” in my presence. Things could get heated!

Y R U writing like this? If U R the responsible grownup I think U R, this kind of writing does not say “cool”.

Neither does yours. You use ”U R” an awful lot. Is that all the cool language you know? Sad!

I know Esperanto, Gregg Shorthand, and 1920‘s Phunology (besides French, English, Spanish, and a bit of Italian and Portuguese). Not sure I want to learn this new “short speak”!
