<p>Yes, a lot gets lost in communication with texting language but I think it's here to stay!</p>
<p>LaVina,</p>
<p>Good point. R or t and y are also a set of commonly used letters that are too close together. I guess we're stuck with the QWERTY keyboard though so there's not much we can do!</p>

With regard to quick texting, I definitely do not enjoy the various "short cuts" for texting. If you don't text regularly, you may not be familiar with the "IKR", or "IJS" sentiments, and be confused with the variety of acronyms and have difficulty replying correctly.</p>LaVina Williams commented on 'Quick Quote on Texting'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c876453ef017ee4f26122970d2012-11-10T19:09:43Z2012-11-12T20:01:14ZLaVina WilliamsAlthough this is a great time in our country with the Re-election of President Barack Obama, I am outraged by...<p>Although this is a great time in our country with the Re-election of President Barack Obama, I am outraged by the numerous comments on various social network sites attacking and disrespecting Our President and his family based primarily on his race!!!</p>Justin Randles commented on 'Quick Quote on Texting'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c876453ef017ee4eba2fe970d2012-11-10T03:03:03Z2012-11-12T20:01:14ZJustin RandlesMaybe it is my age showing but I truly despise the text "language".

So many abbreviations to so man things that would be said or possibly should never be said. "YOLO" makes me quiver with fear that society is slowly getting stupid. Also "WTF" and other abbreviated ways to yell at someone takes away from the anger you really wish to show. If I am to text angry words to a person I want them to have to read every word. If you want to angry text show some effort. As I venture through newly single life my quick notion that I don't want to date someone is a "TTYL" or "OBVI" text.</p>JasmineG. commented on 'Quick Quote on Texting'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c876453ef017c332d5ac1970b2012-11-06T23:16:43Z2012-11-07T19:41:49ZJasmineG.Monica I also mess up with the i and u and few other letters like e and r or t...<p>Monica I also mess up with the i and u and few other letters like e and r or t and y.

<p>It's a good practice to proofread your texts when you send them but I think very few people do. I don't because I'm usually texting in a hurry.</p>
