If I started doing that at work they'd probably fire me.

absolutely, you ruin the full effect of a perfectly, good four-letter word when you abbreviate it.

did you type a 4 letter word back at them?

I texted a couple of times this morning. I need to work on my typing, I'm not very good at it. Must be a generation thing.

I don't get the whole text messaging thing. The kids HAVE TO HAVE a cell phone and then spend most of their time text messaging. Then there's that monthly surprise on the cell statement too. I'm confused. I thought phones were to talk on. Bring back the telegraph!!! Just thinking about the good ol' days.

It is supposed to be more convenient, at least that what I've been told. If a kid us busy their firends can still tell them things, and if they aren't busy they can trade quick messages without having to be near a computer with an IM program.

I remember reading an article several years ago that said a study showed that teenagers in Japan were developing abnormally strong thumb muscles due to the fact that they use their thumbs so much for texting.
