Very true Janice - and that includes those who use it. At this rate, we'll just end up grunting. I suppose that's progress though. I remember reading about a Doctor who lived in a house that was also her surgery. There was a sign out side her door indicating what her speciality was, which read "Paediatrician". The text talk type thickos, who couldn't read or write properly somehow understood it as something to do with "Paedophilia". Result? They burnt the house down. We communicate in many different ways, not just one. What we mean to say, and imply is incredibly important. Next time you walk along any high street, just count the number of people either on their phone or texting. The women are invariably pushing a pram while either texting and/or talking, and far too many of them look like overloaded sacks of potatoes.
