Am I alone in this?

[Pogle]

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 do too, but then again, when I recieve messages in "txt spk", I usually can't understand a word of it, so I don't have a choice.

I am an oldie like you two.

T9 predictive text doesn't block capitalisation or punctuation, so why not just leave it on?

[norrahe]

I've probably spelt that all wrong I also hate using predictive text on my phone.

Good for you Pogle.

We are upholding the standards of decency and literacy in an age of grunting philistines.

I do that too. No, you are not a prig. You are obviously not a chav either.

I don't use text speak, but I don't bother about too much about grammar.

BTW Did Prince invent text speak?

e.g. I Would Die 4 U

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
