I think a zero to zero scoring game is considered a score.  Lions 0 ..... Bears 0.     Works for me!!!!!

People have their own style of speaking and writing.  Yours is not standard, either.

Let it go.

Would rather my grandkids grow up being intelligent.....

Intelligence has nothing to do with the King's English, it's innate.

But if you are insistent on the use of proper language and writing, you might want to be a good example for them.

I would be very pleased that my grandchildren wanted to text their grandmother any way they chose. They clearly want to make contact with you.

Duty can be taught and enforced; love and caring comes from the heart and cannot be forced. There's a fine line - myself, I wouldn't push it. You might have texts spelled correctly and/or then...no texts at all.

Just as forms of communication change, language changes -- both written and spoken.

when you tell your granchildren that you will not respond to texts that you deem are spelled incorrectly (despite the fact that these words are commonly used and understood today), you are telling them that you are either incapable or unwilling to adapt and learn new things.  Like it or not, you need to catch up with the rest of the world.

I don't like being told I "need" to do something.

[Marp]

Does "proper language" include capitalization and punctuation or just how the words are put together?

[Golden_Oldie]

I was watching a football last weekend.  I was also writing and remember that I put the the score in as "no score". 

That must be my answer, didn't give a thought to it.
