    Better than finding erogenous charges on the phone bill - very hard to explain to the wife….

    That makes sense, coz the more you use the phone, the more erroneous the bill.

    Just exactly when did “online” become oneword? It is allover theplace now.

    ‘Online’ has been used for a long while – like logon and logoff – spell check though doesn’t recognize it – English evolves but sometimes the words accepted by the dictionary are moronic – we can blame things like Instagram and Twitter for the lack of spelling prowess now

    Overuse of the capital letters also contributes to ruination of the language.

    Try dealing with Tracfone sometime. Twelve hours on the line to tech got me nowhere. I finally pretended I’d lost the phone to lower my blood pressure.

    -The use of Morse code didn’t destroy English literature, so I doubt that text messaging will. Each form of communication has its usage. No one will try to write a novel on Twitter…

    Catch 22 is such a Money Saver / Money Maker for Corporate America.

    I think that the phone companies and other telecoms are nothing but a bunch of ding-a-lings.

    The way song lyrics have gone in the last 50 years, will it make any difference?

    Did you ever try to buy a money order at the post office with a check? They insist on cash.

    Hence why unemployment is so stubborn to shrink.I hate talking to machines. I refuse to use those computerised checkouts at stores. I’d rather deal with people.

    Texting is just 21st century shorthand.

    even if you could do it via phone it would just be a two hour wait to get through.

    Not sure about phone companies but my bank and internet provider always have helpful people on the phone to assist with any problem. Then again, neither are American.
