Why? Oh, just because I've gotten into the habit of sending between 1,000 and 1,500 text messages a month.
Am I going to start sneaking out the back door of my own apartment next?

Apparently I'm 14 years old.
I haven't gone over my 450 allowed minutes in a pretty long time, but lately I haven't even been close.

OMG. WTF?
Am I going to start sneaking out the back door of my own apartment next?

I maintain that texting is a completely acceptable and adult method of communication, when used appropriately. If you neglect basic grammar and spelling, that's when you have to start worrying.
ReplyDeleteI only have 200 on my plan and I've never come close to using them all. Think of it as being ahead of the times. You know how many texts I sent when I was 14? Zero, and I'd wager it's the same number you sent. Today's 14 year olds are growing up in the digital age, and texting is how they communicate. That will no doubt carry on into their adult years and, while their text activity may fall off some, it should push that average of folks your age closer to that 1500 a month number. Of course by that time you'll be older, and you will probably have to pull out your reading glasses every time you want to send a text, which gets annoying, so voice dialing will probably be your thing. And by the way, you can't send a text without wwworrrdsss. In fact, it takes a literate person to send and receive texts. Granted, my four year old can read simple wwworrrdsss (she's only four, get off her back), but think of it as encouraging literacy, which is very adult. Unless of course your texts are full of wwworrrdsss like ur, omg, u, lol, or uncapitalized wwworrrdsss and missed punctuation, my personal pet peeve. Granted, I am not a grammar genius, but I try and keep my written wwworrrdsss as correct as possible, as it seems you do, too. Your blog (which is awesome, by the way) is always well written and your wwworrrdsss carefully chosen. If you can't tell, I have been dragging this reply out a touch in an attempt to incorporate the word wwworrrdsss as much as possible.
ReplyDeleteFrench fries aren't a vegetable?!?! I suppose next you'll tell me that onion rings aren't either. You got me with the autocorrect thing, which does not promote literacy, but does promote hilarity (http://damnyouautocorrect.com/).
