Am I alone in this?

[Zippy]

I tend to write things out in full and I turned off predictive text as I didn't get on with it.

Are we all old gits?

My daughter was going through a rough patch with her hubby last year. When I next spoke to her I asked her how things were between them, she said 'Oh he's been cool with me'
'Oh tulip' says I , 'thats bad'
'No thats good'
'Is it ?'
'yes'
'oh'

thats how old I am

The fact that you have a married daughter shows how old you are EO.

When I send text messages, I dont use predictive text and I write all words longhand and use capitals and punctuation.
I treat it the same as if I were sending an email.

Does anyone else do this or am I a prig? :

I despise txtsp34k and people who're too lazy to use the right words, THERE isn't a substitute for they're or their as all 3 have separate meanings.

On the occasions I do send text messages i too write them out properly with punctuation and capitals where appropriate.

Me too. My partner has said that I am the only person she can imagine using the word "precipitation" in a text.
