Texting

I am finally getting a phone with text messaging. I should note today is Monday, September 27, 2010. I have avoided texting because I don't know how to drive and text at the same time and I am really glad it's a law that penalizes texters caught doing that. So that is one milestone development I can skip. Texting was invented because of people who talk too damn much and don't know when to shut up. How many of us have fallen victim to someone's endless rattles about a dramatic day? How can you end a conversation in the middle of a emotionally charged rant when all your doing is praying that THEY get an interruption. When the interruption happens on their end, it's like hitting the lottery. When hope of ending the call fades, your brain plans the escape strategy while your lips play interferance by saying "yeah...really...wow...yup...I hear ya...". Caller ID was a great way to avoid them, but then we knew at some point a conversation had to happen and we ran out of excuses of not calling back. We can only fake so many headaches that made us go to bed early. So now all we have to do is text this: "hi got ur msg. hope all is well. i call u nxt week 4 lunch. cant wait to catch up." Not only are you avoiding a verbal conversation, but your writing skills will earn you a F minus minus in grammer. Leave it to texting to undo years of learning proper English grammer. Sadly, there are many folks who write business emails using texting grammer. Could this also be a contributing factor to our high unemployment rate? "hi its mary. i applied for teh admin job adn wanted to know if iam hired. pls reply." For now I think we can blame unemployment to folks getting dumb in their writing. That is until everyone starts using texting grammer. What a decline in our society. It's like we're being invaded by a bunch of __________ . I left this blank because I know we all have some ugly inside of us about how we feel of certain people. Back to texting...I am just glad I'll be able to keep in touch with people I don't like to associate with. What a great device to make me seem like such a caring person. I just hope it doesn't turn me into a grammerly deficiently writeress.
