I work with a man, in his 50's, we sell radiology stuff, lots of doctors, rad techs, etc. His phone conversations- he calls every guy Bro or Dude, and he signs his emails TY- like it's too much trouble to type out thank you. I imagine his children communicate only with acronyms.

I'm sure in another 10 years when the text-generation enters the work force, professionalism will become even more casual than it already is and it will be a normal part of the workday.
