"As I write this letter, I am taken back to a fonder time where the wind whipped the prairie grass across our old family land. I am taken to a time where we once dance, sang, and even LOL'ed together."

I could argue that modern abbreviated writing gets the point across with less hassle and is more accessible to the masses, but I could also be stupid and wrong.
