OK, I admit it, I text...a lot. It started out as the best way to communicate with my grand kids (two teens). Somehow it has become faster to communicate with DD (busy, busy...who knows when she'll have time to return my call). DS, OTOH only returns texts when there is a certain degree of urgency in my text...like HELP! Aside from texting, I use the subject line in emails extensively. You see, the subject line always pops up (usually routed directly to the phone) and if you can be brief enough, you can get everything you need to say in the subject line. These are the primary ways I communicate with DD and DS...just text with GK. Works well.
Now for the ugly part. My spelling is getting iffy. I catch the shortcuts I use in texting creeping into my normal writing...such as leaving out the apostrophe in contractions, no capitals, etc. I'm getting to the point that I really need to run spell check, not because I don't know how to spell, but because of all the texting shortcuts that make their way into my writing. Is this a new disease?
