If you've recently received a text from your children, younger relatives, or a young coworker without a single capital letter, no period, and a few suspiciously casual "lol" additions, you're not alone. This writing style, which not long ago would have been labeled lazy or illiterate, is now becoming the new norm in everyday communication.

Have you ever wondered why a pizza box has holes, if we want our margarita, capricciosa or quattro formaggi to stay hot? At first glance, it might seem like someone didn't think the design through. But in reality, these little holes are a true engineering marvel that would be the envy of even NASA (well, almost).
