Assignment 4 : Texting

In the spirit of texting I wont write like an illiterate monkey. Though really if I wanted to be in the true spirit of texting I would. I'm an impostor. Texting can be useful, but mostly it's annoying. I would rather talk to someone then have to sit there texting them. Also, it kills people in cars, but it's easier to get unlimited texting. So, there are pros and cons. If I had to give anyone advice on texting, which I shouldn't have to, it would be to use their common sense. Texting and driving is a don't. Texting and ignoring your friends is a don't. Texting on the toilet is just creepy. I have used texting, because it was unlimited on our plan it was a huge communication tool for me. Most off my friends prefer texting. It bothers me. You're on a phone use it like a phone. Call someone and make it personal. Then again I tend to run old fashioned. And, I don't completely dislike texting. It is a love-hate relationship. Also, it's good if you are unable to talk in any given situation. If you need to communicate danger without risking yourself further texting is a good option. It would be great for a bank robbery or kidnapping. Don't get caught text your family to call the cops! So, it's possible for texting to be a really useful tool.

My main problem with texting is that it condones and even encourages the whole text talk travesty. K thx bai is not proper English. You will not pass a decent English class writing like that. Spell the words out and use punctuation. I always did. My texts were just like my regular writing. I didn't want or need any more bad habits. This ridiculous trend is making our young folk seem ignorant. Or maybe that's Twilight, but I digress.
