Pick UP The Phone!!
Posted by PaulFeb 10
I hate texting.

I do it, but I hate it.
And yes, I text when I drive.
When it becomes illegal, I’ll quit…maybe.
But I hate it.
I love the sound of my children’s voices, and would rather they call.
But, in this “modern” age, texting is the way. It’s easy to do when ur n class + all.
So, I txt, jst lk evry 1 els.
BTW, I wish they wld cl me.
I find it amazing that people will send you a quick text rather than call.
I think it’s usually because they have something they want to say that doesn’t require the pleasantries and obligations of a conversation.
Texting is destroying the English Language too.
In class the other day, we were peer editing. That’s when one kid writes something and another one checks it for mistakes. You know, trading papers.
One student changed you’re which was incorrect because the writer should have used your, to ur.
Really, ur. I’m not making this UP.
But back to the phone.
Pick it UP.
Call me back.
I’d rather hear your voice!
