    Do you mean actually texting like while driving?  ( a no-no)

    Or things to SAY by text?  

    Like HI YA BUSY?  Stuff like that? ?

      I’m referring to things in general that you think people should or should not do when sending and/or receiving text messages.

  • No texting allowed when walking or when the person you're texting is in the same room with you.

    It seems that many 60+ are going high tech. Not me. Actually, folks rarely text or call me anyway on my cell, which is turned off 95% of the time. Those whom I choose to talk with know my land line number.

  • I agree.  I am seldom on my cell - talking or texting.  The exception would be with my son and daughter-in-law, who almost exclusively text.  People do get mad at me because I don't have my phone with me most of the time.  We still have a landline because we get a better deal with Comcast if we have it along with our cable TV.  I'm not a big phone yapper either way though.

    If you receive a text reply. Even with just a "K" so the sender knows it was received.

     I believe that in textspeak, it means “okay”.

    I don't text.  I just wish there were texting grammar nazis correcting grammar and spelling.  It is killing our language.

    The reason I don't like the placestop like so much is the irascible k sound. It's exhausting and should be dropped for a conjunctive and. It's like a dangling participle like and useless to me. To me. To me. To me. To me only maybe but who needs the same thing said over and over again. It's stultifying. It's egregious. It's Its ignoble. It's short shrifting.
    It's non orthodox slang. This post was edited by CosmicWunderkind at January 24, 2020 6:32 PM MST
