(Phone bleeps signalling text)
Bev: oh shit I just got a text from Ruby it's so long I'm gonna need an hour to read it
Mandy: that woman has no idea of textiquette - ain't nobody got time to read that!
Dude! You are decimating my free text message allowance with your txt tlk commentary on the status of your fucktarded observations on life. Get some textiquette already!
the syntax and correct grammar in texting
using different slang and language than you would in formal writing
nothing is worse than getting a text saying "k."
Person 1: Dude, I just got a text saying k, what a waste of a text.
Person 2: Dude yea that sucks, what terrible textiquette..
Person 1: People need to learn to use proper textiquette!!
Person 2: Why whats up?
Person 1: Some people write novels but like its just a text! and i hate when people abbreviatestupid shit like dont put l8er.. it really isnt that much easier to put an 8 than an a and t...
Person 2:dudeee that's so beat what a toooool
being polite when text messaging: no spamming, be short, go easy on capitals, be personal. watch for double meanings (is LOL "laugh out loud" or "lots of love"? could get you punched in the nose!) and no text overload or you might move onto the world of "textual harassment".
Right textiquette: ILU! CU l8tr!
Wrong textiquette: I love youI love youI love you please see me OMG I think we should be 2gether. Did you get this text? Call me! LU! LOL! IXXXXXU!
