Oh, the challenges that our generation has to deal with: Having a meaningful text message conversation can be tricky enough, without having your phone send the same message twelve times.

i think the only people that are having issues w/ texting are the generations that remember life without it. for the younger generations that have been texting since they could write, it's normal, even with it's glitches. they adapt to it's flaws. each generation has it's own generally accepted way of courting. this is the basis from which the "well, when i was ur age" stories develop. i can see texting lessons for adults and older generations, but i'm sure for pre-teens and teenagers the rules are already understood. sure, it's another layer of added drama, but if not from texting, that drama will be found in other things...like facebook, IM, myspace, spin the bottle, what misty was doing in jason's truck, etc.
btw, ur phone is massive. it's like one of those brick phones from the mid 90's
i bet it is and u can't get rid of it because the phone company gave u a good deal on a new phone if u signed up for a 20 year contract. blasted phone company. j/k
I tend to only use sarcasm txting on certain people. And they know Im sarcastic naturally, so usually I can get away with not using a winky face. Also, I have a problem. My phone does not have this ). So how can I make a smile without that? I usually end up doing this =D or this =P. Oh, I have no ; either. This is the basis of my current argument with my parents. "Why Brooke NEEDS a New Phone Before Her 2 Year Contract is Up". By the way, has your phone ever denied you the right to read your text messages before you reply to them? This can be a serious communication problem, I've discovered.
One more reason never to own a cell phone!
I don't even know WHY they invented the texting technology. Why type something when vocal inflection in an auditory conversation will communicate so much more... including sarcasm? These days, when I think of texting, I think of train wrecks!
Brigitte, you may be suffering from the involuntary sending of inappropriate text messages known as Texting Tourette's Syndrome, or simply "Tweerette's." Sh..! Sh..! Damn it! F..f..f.. WE

This is why I don't pay for texting services. That way I have excuses for everything! "Wanna go into the forest and find out what animal tracks we can find?" "... Oh, I don't text."
...?
MOST importantly, I love your shirt! The tabby things on the shoulders are SO cute and now I MUST know where you got it.
Thanks about my shirt! I love it too! I've had it for years, it was from a store in Nebraska that unfortunately has since gone out of business
This is a tragedy!
I never use sarcasm in texts. It never works, and YES it is a minefield.
Recently I have been dating a girl that refuses to have a serious conversation in person or over the phone. If she gets mad she storms out then texts me to communicate. Last time I did not hear her voice for 3 days but we texted about 200 times. How do you tell someone over a text you think she has intamacy problems without sounding condescending? FOR GODS SAKE PEOPLE! The texting thing has really gotten out of hand. We need classes on how to talk to people.

I once sent a sarcastic joke to a girl implying she was a stalker, without a
or a ha. She replied back over a dozen times that she was not a stalker. After the fourteenth or so text, I started to think she was a stalker. I texted back that I was only joking. She stopped claiming not to be a stalker. We haven't seen, spoken or text each other since. After watching this video, I now feel I was at fault.
Why didn't you post this video two years ago?

THANK YOU THANK YOU for making me laugh. I so needed it today.
I can't have a link to my own website in my signature? Come on, ABC!
thats soo tru.a frend of mine sent me a msg that i didnt like nd i started freaking out.
i decided 2 confront the person 2 say i didnt like that....
they say they were bein sarcastic. texting does give promblems if da msg isnt clear.
pCe & luv 2 all
It might just be me but I don’t think people who use sarcasm and dry humor are the type of people to wear hoodys. That statement has no basis in fact though so take it for what it’s worth.
My phone does that all the time! I thought it was possessed! (maybe it is...
)
Lesson 1 is exactly why I think texting can't be used for anything entirely meaningful/important. It's so unreliable (same goes for IM really). The lost communication of body language which easily makes or breaks a conversation is lost.
I'm not saying it's useless, but if you're going to have a serious relationship discussion, that's a phone or better yet, face to face thing. It irks me that people have long drawn out text conversations while both parties are misinterpreting what each other is saying.

Gads! That was so funny! I look forward to more (free or not) lessons on texting. I plan on making a few of my friends watch this one!
