I don't like typing messages on my phone. Some people get used to it.

Texting is a fundamentally sneaky form of communication, which we should despise, but it is such a boon we don't care. We are all sneaks now.

You know, kids text a lot today. It's phenomenal.

Texting is a lot like an answering machine. If you don't want to talk to somebody, it's like screening your calls. To me, it's a way of communication, but not one that I favor.

I used to always prefer to text, and in fact got indignant when people called. This was totally irrational.

My husband doesn't text... It's always phone calls. I like that because you hear the voice the old-fashioned way.

I like texting as much as the next kidult - and embrace it as yet more evidence, along with email, that we live now in the post-aural age, when an unsolicited phone call is, thankfully, becoming more and more understood to be an unspeakable social solecism, tantamount to an impertinent invasion of privacy.
