Texting

     I really enjoy texting. It is fast and efficient for me. Especially because I am a shy person on the phone and it is convenient if I need to do something because I have the ability to reply when I want to. However texting can also lead to miscommunications due to spelling, grammar, or abbreviations and other misfortunes. When my mom texts me and she abbreviates words, I often get confused because I understand the abbreviations as other words. I often find myself rereading text messages from my mom a few times before understanding them. Also I am so used to grabbing my phone and replying to a message that when I am driving I often pick up the phone but remember to put it down and reply later. I also like texting because if I am not in the mood to talk, I can always just text. With texting there are fun “emojis” that you can send too. There are emojis of faces, food, animals and other miscellaneous icons. Another reason I like texting better than calling would have to be if I needed a favor or had a question but not much time to engage in a conversation with someone, I can easily talk to them via text. I guess you can say I’ve been text crazed since the sixth grade.
