Texting Etiquette

-Text messaging is a way to communicate with others quickly and efficiently, but, just as rules and etiquette have emerged concerning e-mail, texting etiquette is important to follow. From how and where you send your text message to what you say, texting should be done the proper way.

-Consider where you are text messaging. There is no excuse for texting while driving: It’s dumb and dangerous.

-It’s also considered rude to start texting when you are having a face-to-face conversation with someone.

-When texting, think about the message you are sending. It is difficult to capture a tone via e-mail or text message, so be straightforward and clear. Sarcasm, for example, is difficult to convey, so steer clear when texting to ensure that your message will be understood.

-Always use correct punctuation and grammar when texting and never text in ALL CAPS (the equivalent of shouting). Also, avoid forwarding spam via text messaging since it’s just as unwanted as e-mail spam.

Errata:
-Don't text people who don't have a texting plan. Poor form, especially when you know they don't have a texting plan. -Thanks.

    OK, that's as bad as I can do. There may be more abbreviations I could have used, I just don't know all the teenage texting lingo.

    AND...don't text people that don't have text plan! I know it's only 10 cents, but when you have a friend that sends 20 in a row, it adds up!

    I get made fun of for not using "slang" when I text. It's not essay material but it is coherent and not "I liek 2 txt liek dis."

    my mom heard a report on the radio one day that "they" say that texting while driving is the equivalent to driving after having four drinks.

    I really, really, really hate texting. We don't have cell phones at all, but my brother's are surgically attached to theirs. I'm pretty sure this is the birth of the Borg. ; )

Cravings

So ... something is wrong with me ... i am craving burritos and pancakes.

What a strange combination.

Will eat a 'Greek' burger tonight ... gotta love grilled bovine and leftovers.

    They were tasty burgers! For those wondering, I combined several different kinds of olives with sundried tomatoes, capers, and feta cheese. Nom.

  • cbonk
    ha! We don't even have cell phones! I always give people a hard time for saying "Call me on the way..." when they know that we don't have the phones, but...on the way up to my folks house yesterday, Josh said, "Oh, call them and ask..." while we were still in the car...

    I would text you to say congratulations, but it would cost me $.10. Not worth it.

Weekend ... can I have another?

So friday I entered and won a chili cook-off at work.

All of it got eaten.

Friday night played a good bunch of Halo with some funny people. Unlocked Recon.

Saturday, did a whole bunch of nothing ... video games all day, i needed it.

Got to work this morning at 5:45 ... ewww.

Just in case you did not know Miriam was gone all weekend ... hence the marathon of video games ...
