Spelling
I hate when I spell something so badly, even the auto-correct on your phone can’t help me.
I have been known to suggest ways I could be excused from having to attend an AGM because, Sweet Jesus some I’ve been to are boring as!
Seriously, like waiting for paint to dry or grass to grow. I always suggest I’d prefer watching paint dry, because at least you can get high on the fumes…
Anyway, I have asked what would be a suitable reason to get out of attending, said AGM’s in the future and suggested Chronic Diarrhea? But the retired teacher told me only if I could spell it correctly!
I can be a bit of a spelling Nazi, because in I’m old enough to know the benefits of using words and yet “young enough” to abbreviate when texting and such…
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve held out my phone to someone telling them I have never typed in Canbu” because surely by now Not-smart phone you can tell I have a fat thumb and really meant to type Can you! Or the shorter version Can u?

I can so relate. I like my smaller phone, but can’t text worth a damn!

I’ve only been texting for two years! I had cheap flip phones before.

I am a serious grammar and spelling fanatic, but I try to overlook other peoples’ lack of concern for these things. . . .

Exactly! We would all bore each other sick if it we’re otherwise! You don’t need to be a spelling and grammar wiz to share your delightfully ironic, quirky life, Helen! Your heart is naturally upbeat! Stay of good cheer! You have overcome a lot. ❤

I am actually a pretty good speller – my fingers, however, are NOT! As for texting . . . I’d rather clean the toilet! NOT my format.

You are missing out. Quick and pithy messages are the best. 😍

People are different. I find it a tease to get a two line hello in a text — I want a focused conversation!
I’d rather speak less often but longer than have the daily distraction of teensy back and forth thoughts (and have to navigate a tiny keyboard and read on a tiny screen). Good to use the formats that work for each of us, right?

Exactly. Texting is my method of reaching out to people although nobody ever thinks to do the outreach part with me. I’ll make them learn if it’s the last thing I do!😳
