There's nothing wrong with that. http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/text-messaging-grammar.aspx?commentid=18978#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/text-messaging-grammar.aspx?commentid=18978#Comments Tue, 08 Sep 2009 13:46:41 GMT Omorose Panya grammar I am one of the only teenagers in America who does not text very often. I do so when calling would be inappropriate or when there the message is short and to the point, but I prefer talking to them. Anyway, this is yet another podcast I enjoyed from you! I was expecting you to scold people for not using standard grammar in every possible situation, but then I remembered that you're somewhat lax and definitely not butt-tight and unreasonable. Everything has a time and place---including (in)formality. Thanks for another great one =) http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/text-messaging-grammar.aspx?commentid=18539#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/text-messaging-grammar.aspx?commentid=18539#Comments Thu, 20 Aug 2009 07:02:43 GMT gabrielle ricks grammar texting is a wonderful thing. i feel like it makes long sentences shorter. and this helps because when you text, you dont need to write a whole bio on what you are doing. and it is for teens only anyway so of course adults arnt gonna like it cause hlf of them cant text anyways...so whatever...texin has changed my life and its helpful for me. http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/text-messaging-grammar.aspx?commentid=17480#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/text-messaging-grammar.aspx?commentid=17480#Comments Thu, 18 Jun 2009 18:33:40 GMT Brian Patrie grammar I refuse to use cartoon spellings. I don't even write "plow"—preferring "plough. American english has been raped of character quite enough as it is, knocking u's and o's out of words like "honour" and "diarrhoea".
