I’m not sure what all the hullabaloo is about texting. All the kids are doing it and many adults. There is this texting shorthand that I just don’t get. Here is an example.
DILLIGAD - Do I Look Like I Give A Darnn?
BFF - Best Friends Forever
IJWTS - I Just Want To Say…
J4F - Just For Fun
WDYMBT - What do you mean by that?
YGTBK - You’ve Got To Be Kidding
What the hell kind of language is this. I got a text message the other day and had to call to get a translation. Am I getting old?
Here’s a text for you.
IUW2T2MCMOTP
(Simply translated-”If you want to talk to me, call me on the phone.”)

I admit I don’t get all of the acronyms but texting can be handy..you know sometimes I have to tell someone something quickly but really just don’t want to have a full conversation…I pretty much hate talking on the phone…always have…but that’s me.
I am with you Deb. I get a text and I am not sure how to reply to it. Even worse, I never wear my reading glasses so I can’t even tell what it says or if I try to reply, I can’t see the letter on the buttons to answer it.
So on that note:
“HAGD” & “IUW2T2MCMOTP”

I have to agree, my kids text me and I have to call them to reply.
