I can send my kids a message, and they read it, because they are obsessed with texting. Generally, they answer, and I don;t see any eye-rolling, shoulder-shrugging attitude. It is lovely. And, I text in complete, gramatically-correct sentences. It drives them crazy. We have unlimited texting on our plan and it is wonderful..

But I text all the time with friends, colleagues and Twitterers, and one thing I'm determined to do and teach my kids to do is spell correctly. None of this "I thnk u r kool" crap. "i m goin 2 pick u up @ 2". No way. I text, and they'll text, in more or less grammatically correct sentences or else.

I guess that explains why they were cheap enough for Nielsen to buy them out. Though I can't figure out if he is slapping women for being "too stupid to use a high end device" or "assumes all moms are of the Stay-At-Home variety and thus wouldn't need a 'corporate' phone" Not that it matters, since either way proves he is an idiot.
