music to my ears.

i recently went to get a new phone from O2 and the server said to me "what features are you looking for on your phone?"

i said "one that allows me to ring somebody else"

sod fancy features, camera's, games etc. what's a phone supposed to be for? :angry:

on here i might put how r u instead of how are you but when i text i always spell things the right way. always use predictive text and all that.
i think the following should be allowed:
r = are
u = you

ones that are just :censored:
gr8
h8

i dunno more, i just like the normal way, so im voting that i will be less likely to read them

my biggest gripe with texting is bloody "predictive text" or whatever it is.

what the hell is that all about? it just completely f#cks everything up that you are trying to say. :angry:
