Am I the only person on the planet who refuses to use text speak when sending messages? Got a text from a friend last week, guy is around 65. U this and U that.

You're not. I can't stand it either. I get it back when SMS was limited. But it's aggrivating to see it bleed into peoples writing. And it's REALLY aggravating when it bleeds into peoples' speech. Every time I hear someone say "OMG", I want to pimp slap them. |

I never bought into the texting thing in the first place. Always seemed like a major step backwards to me.
"Oh but they're so handy when you're in a meeting & somebody wants to tell you something." If I'm in a meeting, ninety five percent of the time I am running the meeting. Shut your phones off, please. |

If they have an issue with the equipment we're babysitting, they'll send me a picture and a description of what's going on, and if I can tell them how to fix it we won't have to call anyone. I also like being able to have critical information, like names and phone numbers being passed to me, in a "written" form. |

If I need to tell nine people that are spread out that the meeting is at 0900, I send one text to nine people, or I make nine phone calls, or physically drive to nine locations and tell them face to face. Which is more efficient? Properly used, the technology is great. |

I at least have an excuse to do that - I'm a "dinosaur" when it comes to cell phone plans and pay per text message. Yet I don't. I STILL use full words and punctuation.
