Why court reporters should not text

[Kyung]

Okay. I finally tried texting. I had a cell phone but I never texted. In fact, I didn't even have that service. Recently I added it on. It's been great. I have more contact with one friend who I can never, ever get ahold of. You call and call and she never returns your calls. (Anyhoo, that's another rant).

Back to our regularly scheduled program.

Do you realize how difficult it is to text when you are used to writing out everything and making sure everything is correct. I find myself typing these long elaborate messages with the correct punctuation and everything, which is completely defeating the purpose of texting. Short, little quicky messages.

Not me, I'm looking for the apostrophe and question mark key on my keyboard. Did I spell that right? Duh!!

Anyhoo, I wonder if I start texting a lot will my spelling skills go down the tubes. We shall see.

In the meantime, must not write out

great = gr8
ttyl = talk to you later
before = b4

Share your little text message briefs w/me & same me some time.

Oh, btw, don't text & drive. It's almost as bad as drinking & driving.

I only know a few also. It amazes me how the teens can do it so fast. Here are two that might help. I can definitely ask my niece for some more. She's got all kinds.
Later = l8r
I don't know = IDK
