I hate text messaging. I always have, and I’m pretty sure I always will. There’s something about condensing the English language into as few keystrokes as possible and avoiding all the rules of grammar and punctuation that I find repulsive, but recently I’ve found even more reasons to hate the cell phone texting trend.

There are only a few things that I find as annoying as text messages. E-mail forwards, solicitors and bad drivers are on the top of the list, and thanks to modern technology, now all of those things can occur as a result of text messaging.
