So a friend of mine and I were talking about this a week ago or so and I wanted to get a few opinions if possible.
This all started because my new phone is android and I’ve been an iphone guy for about 5 years. Some of the text he gets from me will have random peroids.in.the content. Then some will have an auto correct that I didn’t see before hitting send.
I told him that I don’t take as much time when texting him because we’ve been friends for years, he should be able to figure out what I’m trying to say.lol He somewhat agreed and we went on. Since then it’s a topic I’ve been thinking about, I’ve notice that in some staff conversations (long term staff.. years) that I’ll get a little sloppy just because I’m trying to get what I want to say out so they can read over and we can talk about it. I’ve noticed in Twitter DM’s that I get a but sloppy, I don’t capitalize my i’s sometimes and just real simple spelling errors. Note.. These are general chat threads etc.. in the main staff threads about the site, everything looks proper.
So.. Does anyone else get lazy when chatting with IRL friends or online friends that you’ve known for years, talked with them for years etc..?
Also here is a picture of text from dog to laugh at
- Do you spell check all your text, tweets, facebook or just general post to the world?
- Do you let errors slip when chatting with friends?
