Kewl is so uncool

When did it become acceptable to write “kewl” as opposed to cool? I just had a sales rep email me and tell me that it was kewl to meet me earlier this week.

This is the second time I have received an email from someone referring to meeting me or spending time with me as kewl, and in both cases it has made the person sending me the note decidedly un"kewl."

I mean it would be one thing if it was sorting the phrase as the computer again has done with WTF, LOL and BTW, but cool and kewl take about the same amount of time to type.

So I ask you all WTF is with Kewl? Cool is already slang so do we really need to mess with it?

I think not.
