Does this sound right? If you are flirting with someone via text message and you make two spelling errors in two consecutive text messages, especially when the second spelling (actually formatting) error is found in the second text message which is actually a correction of the first, you should immediately cease that flirtation. Because if you can't flirt intelligibly in one-sentence increments correctly, how could you possibly function adequately within the confines of a relationship? Also because then are you supposed to send a third text message correcting the second? That's just silly. Also something that is an issue with flirting via text message on the iPhone is how easily predictive text and clumsy thumbs can render a relatively benign and, in one texter's mind, adorable message completely creepy. For instance, "Spending time with you makes me happy" morphs into the absurd and weird "Spenging time with toe make me happen."

I guess this means Josh isn't going to London.
I have coined this process "The Textlationship."
Earn more sessions through sleeving!
@Pope John Peeps II: He just be having some "text" on the side with another lady.
you should never answer the first text. then on, answer only once a week. that way you'll seem like a distant asshole and people will flock to you. so bad, but so incredibly true.
Depends on how hot she is.
ah, text sex. joshua, next could you address the best way to respond when your friends ask you what exactly you're doing over there and why are you grinning at your phone like a damned fool? thanks, servicey!
Safe text. Make up text. Rough text. Hate text.
If I can text you perfectly with my thumbs, think of what I can do to you with my thumbs in person, baby!
Texting errors are allowed. Grammatical email errors are not.
I'm convinced spelling errors are the explanation for the majority of unplanned pregnancies in the Spears household.
I don't think I've ever had text/spelling problem since I've gotten my iPhone. Even when I'm drunk texting at 3am it still manages to know what I'm trying to type. But on second thought, maybe I'm giving it too much credit. Maybe it's not so much that it knows what I'm trying to type so much as it is that I just talk about really begnin things. Things along the lines of: 'See Sopt. See Spot run. Run Spot run. Jane sees Spot run.'
Theres really not too much to confuse there.
@CodePink: morning text. random text. I really, really regret that text.
@Reluctant Financier: just don't ask it to spell adorable.
@the supergoddess: how could you forget period text?
Ah, the perils of being a good cook with a gold cock. You never know what people are meaning to say to you.
@KarenUhOh: I think you're correct. "Get a robber? Why would I want to get a robber? Wierd."

@MyCubeHas3Sides: just that one time in college lesbian text
I just send grunts.
Alternatively you can have one of the techies there follow this tutorial to either destroy your phone, or disable predictive text.
When you have finesse, there's no such thing as a thumb that's "too big."
@Nellicat: Conbon keeps getting referenced in a lot of my late-night texts, despite the fact that I've never actually met the guy. Weird.
@WONKY
sounds like my type! where do I sign up?
@the supergoddess: Which reminds me of One-Time-I-Text/dated-a-Woman-In-College-And-Then-She-Turned-Into-A-Lesbian-But-I-Don't-Think-It-Had-Anything-To-Do - With-Me-Or-My-Performance (though she IS now married to my male friend M.)-Text.

@MyCubeHas3Sides: she didn't like you in that way break-up text?
I can't believe CCG is missing this textfest.
@the supergoddess: Maybe, more like, Small town college split a 12-pack of Old Milwaukee Tall Boys Text?
@Wrath of Farrakhan: I dream of meeting CCG for Text!
When my wife sees somebody texting a lot, she calls it "heavy texting". She's pretty funny, that one.

@dado: Excellent "Roxanne" reference, Sir.
text is like pizza, even bad text is pretty good
@therealgoogle: Predictive text is very easily disabled in Settings.
But then you have to capitalize your own I's. And that sucks!
I save mementoes of my textual harassment so I remember never to do it again.
@DorothyMantooth: Wow, I totally take it back! I *used* to be able to disable predictive text in settings...
