TEXT MESSAING ETIQUETTE

In my opinion text messaging is by no means “the way” to communicate, but with the changing more hectic life styles that we are creating it makes some task much simpler. Sending text messages should be simple and to the point, not for an important or heated conversation. Sadly, in my life this is not the case. It is extremely difficult to decipher what exactly a person is saying just through text message. Slang, tone, caps vs. no caps…what is all this mess that we have invented? Misinterpretation’s can happen easily with just communicating through a text message. People have different schedules; work, school, family and friends. This means that just because you don’t get a response immediately, wait until the other person has time to write you back.  Another bad habit: texting while driving. Statistically this is causing more deaths and wrecks and alcohol. I’m guilty, but is it really worth it? In my opinion, NO!  Almost everything can wait and since they didn’t call you it must not be so important that you need to respond while driving and put yourself and others around you in danger. Lastly, when you’re with company, don’t just sit there and text in their face while they are spending time with you. Excuse yourself and let the person texting you know that you are busy and will get back with them later.
