Does your phone have auto-correct? Now THAT is annoying!! hubby's has it and he will start to type a word, and his phone offers suggestions as to which word he is trying to use. It's horrible! I refuse to get a phone with it, unless it can be disabled.MamaJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06640267511810411108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36612182.post-90023458689819770552011-01-05T15:36:15.792-07:002011-01-05T15:36:15.792-07:00Oh Jana!

I haven't called anyone back yet to inform them of my text message expectations, but my kids aren't of cell-age yet, so you never know! :)EllaJachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17937838823211562533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36612182.post-50969377332815621722011-01-05T09:06:44.199-07:002011-01-05T09:06:44.199-07:00Don't worry, you'll get used to it.

In fact, it may even become your primary mode of communication! =P<br /><br />And, you are not alone wincing every time someone uses "text speak" for a message that's well under 160 characters. I send and receive a lot of texts, mostly to and from my husband, and I always try to make sure they're grammatically correct. As you described, only if I'm way over the 160 character limit will I make sacrifices - and even then only if there's no alternative way to say it correctly.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615854840567638084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36612182.post-62443990951872789892011-01-05T07:40:18.871-07:002011-01-05T07:40:18.871-07:00HA!!

What gets me most is the text conversation that goes on and on, and really would be more enjoyable if they'd just CALL ME INSTEAD!! :-)MamaJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06640267511810411108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36612182.post-41045919363111666152011-01-04T23:05:24.259-07:002011-01-04T23:05:24.259-07:00You're not alone. When I send a text message ...You're not alone. When I send a text message I try to spell correctly and use proper punctuation. Several of my friends joke about it. I've also called my teenage son after receiving a text message to remind him that I expect those messages to have proper punctuation and spelling.CKnoreply@blogger.com
