Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for November 12, 2021

Wanna bet?

Nobody texts faster than a Texan!

Maybe so, but by the time they’ve gotten their seventy-eleven words in, it’s too late.

Not because she’s angry, but my daughter can bang out 4-5 texts to my one. I think she’s got one of those apps that reads your mind…

Nobody texts the Spanish Inquisition!

Especially if she’s under 18.

Texting is a skill similar to riding a bicycle; it is most easily learned when you are young.

My thumbs simply do not have the dexterity to text efficiently.

However, about 90% of the texts I get are verification codes to log into various applications on my computer. I can’t use the computer without my phone.

I have lived 71 years without texting, see no reason to start now.

Opening the door to getting into more trouble, Auntie! With or without spell check!

Who’s a passed off female?

No phone has survived the frustrated techno- maroon. Ask me :D

In that case, better text then talk.

And they use a lot of hasty and mostly undecipherable abbreviations to vent their wrath, er, opinion, um, advice.

You are sadly right.

And when that happens, it shows up all garbled and the person it is sent to looks at it and says ‘oh oh, what did I do this time?’

I text because there are lots of instances where I have to. I prefer to use my desktop (which I’m doing now). If I text fast, it will be very amusing to try to read what I typed!

Sadly, she then gets Sabotaged by AutoCorrect.

I found out that if I am sending my soon to be ex an email when I am angry at him, especially when my spousal support is late or that he won’t agree to pay me alimony so we can get this stupid divorce done, that I type a whole lot faster and I hit the keys so hard that I wonder if they will pop off.

Nobody makes more mistakes while texting than a pissed off female!

uhhhh
