    the 90's should be ashamed of themselves

    But how else would we print out stock market updates?

    Seriously the fuck was that used for?

    if there were more message boards in the 90's people would be saying how the printer is a gimmick and others would be saying how it is a revolutionary gameplay experience

    A friend of mine had some old-ass cell phone until very recently, with the green and black screen and such

    he could text, but only in capital letters, so he always seemed really excited about whatever it was

    I WILL LET YOU LOOK AT MY NOTES BEFORE THE TEST OK

    I really like predictive text; it also means it's actually easier to use proper English than shortcuts.

    Parents, they are the worst for using txt-spk. Ugh.

    Oh god.

    My mother is terrible.

    She will ask you 3 different questions all completely unrelated all ridiculously abbreviated.

    I showed Vivienne the text last night and she burst out laughing.

    Full keyboards are a little too fiddly for me; I actually prefer a number pad

    My dad always uses a u with an umlaut over it for you as it makes it look friendly; a little smiley face all over the text

    Yes! My friend's mother's texts take about an hour to decode, she uses every shorthand possible (and then makes up a few of her own)

    Actually I lied.

    The last message she sent me had no abbreviations. It went like this though.

    You forgot boxes and receipt. Is viv still sneezing or better? Good day?

    Apparently according to her is that a conversation involves not waiting for the other person to respond and just continually asking questions until you get bored.

    I tried texting her back once with standard abbreviations just so she could get how annoying it is.

    Something like ill cu l8r

    Her reply was, "wot"

    Seriously, she is my mother, how can I respect her when her writing reminds me of a 15 year old valley girl?

    My mother figured out to text, but punctuation is a little beyond her

    It's funny because she is usually really, really particular about run-on sentences

    my mum writes texts in broken english, which doesnt help when my spanish is pretty poor to begin with

    also sometimes she gets a little confused and there may or may not be alternating caps

    my parents both sort of use some txtspk but my dad uses it when fbchatting me too so I'm like really?

    I think it's interesting that they think that is like the way you're "supposed" to talk on texts/the internet. Even when I was in the 12-15 age range I never once used abbreviations besides the times I was pretending to be an internet retard.

    My grandmother types her emails in all caps, but signs her name at the end in lower-case. I really don't understand it. I keep trying to subtly hint to her that it's kind of annoying, but to no avail.

    my mom doesn't text. my dad does and he only uses basic shorthand (u, c, etc.)

    my uncle hates texting. he's always complaining about it, all "why don't you just call them?!" i asked him if he e-mails people and he says that's different

    My parents live in a log cabin far from society. They have a cell phone, but it's one of those "huge button" ones you hear advertised on AM radio. They pay extra to have no incoming texting and no voice mail.

    I still really want the HTC touch pro...any feedback from people that have had one for a while?

    from what I know, any of HTC's high end phones are pretty much fantastic

    I think Verizon just got the Touch Pro, though my store hasn't. I want to play with it
