    When Parents Text
    It always cracks me up when my Mom texts me, because it is perfect grammar and absolutely no abbreviations.

    Ohhh, is that what's supposed to be funny about that? I honestly didn't get it at all.
    I do that too. Have to use correct grammar and I can't stand to use "U' or "2".
    When I hear someone say "Im not book smart, Im street smart"; what I really hear is "Im not real smart, Im pretend smart".

    Thats how my mom is. And if she messes up I bring it up just to listen to her complain lol
    I personally think its a little weird to see anyone over 40 texting or on facebook

    I am with you, I did not get it either. The only shortcut I use is lol, I even spell out Okay.. never just k

    I have a lot of customers that text me instead of calling or email now. It is quick and accurate for small orders or to add on to an order.

    It's not wierd when that person over 40 pays your phone bill for you after AT&T (or whoever) sends them a text saying it's due is it...

    And the older they get, the more weird it becomes for them to text/fb.

    I'm under 30 and I can't stand to use abbreviations and I use the best grammar that I know how to use.

    I can't stand to get a text like "c u l8er." Or when people leave out vowels, like "b rght thr." SO ANNOYING!

    Yea it still is. I think all that crap is meant for younger people and its weird to see older people using it.

    Amen.

    I'm 30, been texting since I started college, and there was nothing that screamed "dumbass" to me more than those abbreviations. I don't know how it became the cool thing to do, because five years ago you got made fun of for doing it if you weren't 12.
