I Don't Know

It was fun to hear at an event this week about the confusing texting interchange between a mother and her son:

Mom: What time is the game?
Son: IDK
Mom: What is IDK?
Son: I Don't Know
Mom: What do you mean, you don't know?
Son: It means I don't know
Mom: How can you not know, you just texted me IDK?
Son: IDK means I Don't Know

This is another example that illustrates how easily our communications can go awry even when we think we're being perfectly clear.
