Use the whole word.

CN you live in a different country. No one said my child couldn't speak proper English. The fad in this country is these shortened words. It's on TV. On the internet. Texting. I just want adults to speak properly. There is no reason for a 49 year old woman to say welcs in a business envirnoment. If we were talking personally and being goofy, then sure it's funny. But not when it's the way an adult speaks all the time.

Are you serious about not being serious?
