uses punctuation and corrects it when texting? I was just sending a text and found myself checking to make sure everything was puntually correct. Does that make me obsessive or something?

Then there are times I'm just flat lazy.
Lately, I've taken to using the "Word" function on my phone's front keypad, even though I have a full QWERTY setup.  |

The only slang I use is lol, or "watcha" as in "watcha doing tonight?"
Other than that it's all grammatically correct. |

I blame it almost entirely on the advent of e-mail, instant messengers, and text messaging. The speed of communication is destroying the language of communication, and it breaks my soul a little.

I have all I can do to figure out my XM and my wife's nav system  If someone wants to get me on my cell, they need to call  IMHO, texting is like taking a step backwards in technology. I mean what's next, texting in Morse code??  Actually, that would make more sense and be faster as well. |
