    I absolutely detest text messaging or emails. You have a problem? Call me because I can probably solve your issue in one minute of phone call. I have been almost always been subjected to texting sessions that lasted for several hours because the dumbass on the other end lacked the spelling and vocab skills to provide an accurate written description of the problem.

    Time is money and even sometimes life threatening unless the fastest method of communication is use. And fastest ain’t an email or text.

      I firmly disagree, but that’s because for me writing and reading are much easier than verbal communication.

      This issue really only comes up when people like you and people like me have to communicate.

      This is also why I keep a notebook at work. Without it, spoken exchanges would essentially be a lacuna in a conversation for me.

        Think of it as a way to say you have no clue how to communicate correctly through the written word. By the time I’m forced to wade through your lack of punctuation, misspellings and the autocorrect blunders and the stupid emojis to decipher what you REALLY meant, I already have equated your IQ to be around the range of my old orange tabby cat.

        If you send me a text, I will consider it of such low priority that I might get back to you in a week or so.

          Perhaps you could consider that for diverse reasons people have different prefered ways of communication. You have your own prefered way for your own reasons and that’s ok. That doesn’t mean you should disrespect other people’s communication choices or them personally.

            Fundamentally everyone here is putting a lot of effort into defending not participating in phone calls where as if they just picked up the phone the whole thing would be over now, but instead we’re all texting eachother trying to prove our points ultimately getting nowhere.
