Educate yourself. Know the difference.

We all remember what those G.I. Joe PSA's taught us about knowing, right kids?

Just some questions

When did we, as a society, start abbreviating the word "favorite" and accepting this as part of the vernacular?

Another question. When did we throw the rules of the English language out the window and start dropping the 'E' from "fave" so it comes "fav"?

Am I the only one who finds this unacceptable?
