Today, I feel like making a blog post about what I hate about texting. Even though I text all the time, over 10,000 times a few months ago (although I've cut back) I don't like to text. I only do it because that's the only way to get a hold of anyone I know at any time. So, my list of what I hate about texting:
- Spelling and Grammar: "Lyk r u at the skool yet?" The person who came up with this should be tied upside down by there ankles and have their wrists slit. Okay, maybe that's just a little extreme, but I hate it. And it's not just on text. It's in e-mails, it's on Facebook, some people even on the bathroom walls! It's a disease! It's a common problem that is rarely diagnosed, badspellingandgrammaritis. It's really just bad.
- Acronyms: Even I have done this, and I feel bad for it. But I'm not ass bad as some people. "GTG BRB ROTFL LOL!" I hate that. So much. Some people should have their faces punched in. I'm sorry for the violence, I just really hate it. A lot.
- Time: Okay, so here's the problem, by the time you've sent you're text saying "k" about ten minutes after I sent a 3 page message about something important, you and I could have had a real conversation. Ten times. It's ridiculous. I hate when I sit for Ten minutes because I want to know your opinion on something time-sensitive and I get a one word text.
- One Word Messages: This angers me. Why even text me if you're going to just say "cool" or "k" every time I say something. If you send one word I will most likely try to end the conversation. I am guilty of one word messaging, but it's usually because you started sending stuff that's annoying and I'm trying to say "go away!"
- People Who Hide Behind Text: Why, just why. Some people just can't get the guts to fight in person. If you're gonna fight with me, then go up to me and say what you need to say. I don't like fighting to begin with (no debating is not fighting, I like to debate if you have a clue what you're talking about) but I'd rather fight in person. If you text me saying some lame insult then don't even text me. The only time I fight over text is if you a) won't see me in person, and b) I have a legitimate reason.
- Miscommunication: I don't know if everyone becomes an idiot when they text, but no one gets any information right. It's pure stupidity. Why doesn't anyone get it. Really. It's just purely annoying.
