do u txt?
Do you send text messages? I’ve sent a few in the past, but I’d rather just pick up the phone and talk to someone if I need to reach them. I’m just old enough (30) that I can’t pick up “texting” and my thumb coordination stinks. One day I was texting with Sindy and I was amazed at how quickly she was texting back to me, and how long her messages were. Turns out, it was her 15 year old, doing the texting for you.
No matter how you feel about texting, it’s here to stay. Especially now that a book has been written completely in the text message format. The Last Messages has been published in Finland, and it tells the story of an IT executive…in nothing but text messages.
Personally, I don’t think I could stand to read a book like that. It was hard enough for me to read “The Color Purple”, which is a classic written by Alice Walker in the vernacular of a poor black sharecropper in the early 1900’s. It took me a few chapters to get used to the spelling and grammar. Likewise, I think that a book about text messaging, filled with “g2g” and “brb” would drive me nuts.

I’m a text message flunky. Don’t get me wrong, I send them all the time, but I can’t do the short hand. I blame it on the English major in me!
I always text message! Its more easy talking with text messages when the person you are talking with is angry or annoyed
Texting has its place, for sure, but it’s when it starts replacing actual conversation that I get annoyed.
