Does anyone here struggle when they text people on your phone?
There is the stereotype that older people are less proficient with these sorts of things, is this actually the case? If it is then I must be past it as well.

I struggled to write more than 20 words in 5 minutes, I got a little lost changing it from capitals to lower case, and then I found myself making sure everything is spelt correctly and properly punctuated, often I don't get that abbreviated nonsense. πŸ˜•

I have no excuse because I'm of the generation that is supposed to be very fluent with this sort of thing.

I'm ancient. I don't understand the concept of texting. If you're on the phone, why not just call the person and talk to them?

Err...maybe because it would cost more money or something?

I don't think calling the poster a slut is going to help with the old self-esteem.

Only someone who wants Qweenie to be that would think I implied such a thing. πŸ˜‰
