Are you a sloppy texter? Tidy? Proper?

I find it hard to be sloppy, leave known mistakes, ignore grammar etc - it’s just been too deeply ingrained in me to let it go at my age 😄

Absolutely anal about spelling, grammar and punctuation.

Depends on the person I’m texting with. My brother or DH who are terrible spellers? I don’t bother fixing it, LOL.

I hate texting. The phone app on my cell camera works pretty good sometimes and it's a whole lot faster.

I use full sentences with proper grammar and whole words. I pretty much only drop punctuation with DH and the boys.

DH is like me. DS1 is lazy with one word answers, no punctuation. DS2 has a split personality when he texts. Me or DH get full sentences. His brother gets emojis, gifs, and memes. I've seen his texts to friends and they're letters, emojis, random shortened words, etc.

I’m a tidy texter.

I try to text as if Myshelly is going to read them and mark me out of ten for spelling and grammar.

I am a hot mess because I’m terrible at thumb typing. I just let it be with DH and the kids and they make fun of me endlessly for it.

I hate when clients want to text because I’m so bad at it. I’m the old lady who just wants to stick with e-mail, please.

I use full sentences unless a one-word answer is sufficient. I will correct errors and try to make sure things are proper. With some people I do abbreviate because as cuz for brevity's sake, but I almost always use full words, correctly spelled.

What annoys me is when the autocorrect swoops in in that split second before I send, and changes something so that it’s wrong, and it goes out that way.

I try to be very, very careful. Very.

I’ll sometimes dash off a quick text to my DD and not be so careful. But to my DH and sister? It has to be correct.

My DH is rather passive aggressive about my spelling and grammar errors. I sometimes use voice to text because of my low vision, and Siri will misunderstand me or use the wrong word. For example, if I say I’m going to go “buy” something and the word gets spelled “by”, I’ll immediately get a text from him. What do you mean “by”? I don’t understand. What were you trying to say? Ugh.

My sister, is a former French and English high school teacher. She can be brutal in her criticisms.

I’d really rather just call someone then have them critique my spelling, grammar and punctuation in a text. It’s just rude.

I can't text, I have to use the speaker phone function! With my accent, it gets a word wrong on most every text, so they are quite funny when the person I am texting asks me if I read my text.

So I am a sloppy texter.

To me, this is the perfect text. I'd let that one sit for a long time.

Those things that do the rounds on Facebook etc listing hilarious conversations with autocorrect alterations always have me laughing out loud.
