PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"LO M8s. Let's cLebr8 texting!" |
20 years of SMSApparently the average US person sends "only" 675 texts per month. Sort of puts my 10 maybe into perspective! So what does everyone think of texting, do you use it or has it been replaced by Facebook and Twitter?

Oh, yeah, I had one of those old texting phones before I got an iPhone earlier this year too!And in case anyone is wondering what we're talking about, the keys were abc, def, ghi, jkl, mno, pqr, stu, vwx, yz0, 123, 456, 789 and maybe a pair of punctuation keys. If you wanted to text 'c', then you'd hit the abc key three times (once for 'a', twice for 'b' and thrice for 'c'). It's funny how quickly you can learn to do this, but it's murder on the fingers!

10. "RE: LO M8s. Let's cLebr8 texting!" |
LAST EDITED ON 12-04-12 AT 07:31 PM (EST)I have an iPhone and a teenager, so the only way I hear from him is through texting. Personally, I despise texting as the keyboard is so damn tiny and that it keeps autocorrecting into the wrong word as my finger might slip ont the next key! ARGHGH. Much prefer email. Much prefer talking. I don't get it when teenagers virtually refuse to actually speak to each other to make plans, but text each other obscure posts and nobody is quite clear on what is exactly going on as they just won't make the damn call! (yeah, you can see how frustrated I am with the whole fiasco, which I witness every Friday night with my son making plans (or not) with his friends or girlfriend) It boggles my mind that he won't just call his friends to confirm when and where they are meeting, but relies on getting the text that has no information!! ARGGHGHGH. And yes, my texts, when I MUST text, are always in full sentences.

13. "Do not like" |
and try not to use. But when you're communicating with someone much younger it is pretty much the only way you'll get them to respond. At first it seems fun because it is a novelty. But a short phone call can accomplish everything a 10 text textathon can in so much less time. Part of my dislike about texting is how people get so wrapped up in it they disregard everything else going on around them. The small screen has sucked in a huge part of the population. We already had the big screen do that but it was limited because it was not portable. I just don't see this as a good thing. Now get off my lawn.

LAST EDITED ON 12-05-12 AT 02:07 PM (EST)1. Can't translate those texts on your phone? There's an app for that! In fact, research shows that 84 per cent of parents get texts from their children they cannot read. 2. Do you wonder how long it really takes to type and read a text message instead of English? One study figured out that while it takes a little bit less time to text text-speak instead of English, it takes a lot longer to read it. She says the message, which spanned two mobile phone screens, took 260 seconds to write in normal English, but only 220 seconds in textisms. The participants took 14 seconds to read the normal English message, but 27 seconds to comprehend the textism message, and in many cases made mistakes. In other words, it's about 15% faster to type, but it takes almost twice as long to read!

I only text with a few friends, and not on a constant basis. And I don't subscribe to Facebook or Twitter. So otherwise it's email or voicephone.

Texting is nice when you are underground or someplace with no cell service and can still get a message through.
