Tech Do you text using shorthand?

[Stardust Stud]

Normally I find the text shorthand abhorrent, however, I texted for the first time today, and it is a TON of work typing everything out in full....

So; I submit to you:

Yes

or

No

No...

I use T9 so it's easy for me. My text are almost novels

...it took me a LONG time to realize that texts can only be a certain length before being charged for 2, 3, 4, 5 texts I never understood why my cell kept saying "SMS 2, 3, 4, 5" until I finally got my cell bill! :shame:

No... The only thing I will do once in a while is type r u for are you... but that is it

 

[Divyaangana]

No. The only time it ever appears in my texts are if I'm forwarding something on from someone else.

Personally I just can't stand looking at shorthand. I think it looks sloppy and lazy.

No for me 2. and I thought I was the only one

I never text shorthand and I hate when people text me shorthand, it's difficult and essentially takes more time to read!

I've been using a QWERTY keyboard for the longest. It's natural to just type words out, so it's a 'no' for me.

No, I dont type shorthand. I also have a qwerty keyboard, so its not a big deal to type out a complete sentence. As well, I think most phones nowadays have the recognition so that you only have to type the first few letters of a word anyway and it automatically fills it in for you, and/or if you make a mistake in typing a word, it will fix it. I see no reason to type in shorthand.

Nope! I think shorthand is very annoying...

 

[Lvbabydoll]

No, usually I don't, depends on how quickly I need to text something though.

 

[Jahpson]

[KatsBags]

No... I don't use shorthand. Like others have said, I have a QWERTY keyboard and typing full words is pretty easy.

 

[afsweet]

No. i prefer to type everything out.

i hate text shorthand and never do it. Even if it takes me longer, I type out every single word.
