I MUST DOWNGRADE SO I CAN UPGRADE MY PHONE AND COMMUNICATE WITH MY OFFSPRING – ages 4 to 65.

Ha! I don’t text, either. I do speak the language, however. I’ve been reading invented spelling for a long time. Silly kids actually think they invented it.
Alas, my kids don’t do email. They also completely ignore their house phone. I actually wrote them a letter and than drove over there a week later to show them how to check their mailbox. It really is a bit comical, but these communication gaps are serious business. I sometimes threaten to just send the cops over to do a welfare check. Like “ET, phone home.” Of course, they have no idea what that means either.
Yep, same fix I’m in. Right now I need to check – two phones, no answer. I know they have them in hand. Frustrating. You go to show them how to use the mailbox?! Hilarious.
I basically resigned to no news being good news but my wife keeps on trying with some success. I keep the phone near me just in case.
For many it means no news equal keeping more money in your pocket! 😀
😅😅😅
My sentiments exactly! 🙂
It is hard to un-learn seventy years of spelling according to Webster! 😀
lol love it, phonetic spelling shud av made its mark sooner 🙂
I think it might have been a good idea if it had begun before books began! I’d go for enuf instead of enough. But at this late date, I think it is wise for us to be a bit conservative on the side of “tradition.” 😀 I have a hard time with old English spellings.
lol but I could still read your post … so does the correct spelling really matter 🙂
But you are good – and flexible. 😀
definitely the later .. 😉
😀 Spoken like a person who can take up roots and move cross country! I don’t even want change as I sit here in my chair!
lol I am praying to set down roots here Oneta as Ive been a nomad for decades … my tiny house will be on wheels because everything is temporary but I hope to settle within this community and just move from field to field as necessary 🙂
My husband always says he doesn’t want to learn to text. It would be perfect for him as he already spells phonetically!
My son was good with phonetic spelling except he had the bad luck of spelling all words with a 50% chance of being right, wrong. Such as swimming pule and the golden rool! 😀
Luv it! lack of communication with next generation must be world-wide. We rarely see or hear from anyone from ……generation……? .This past few months they all seem to have MORE technology at school and at home . I don’t think I will ever learn to phonetically text. I think I’ll have to make it brief. Something like……….Hi…please phone gran. xxx (perhaps write her a letter?).

I agree wid Faye. But dis was so gud 2 reed nd i was evn laughing also. I tried my best to type in this kinda distorted language but failed. Hhaa. Good oneta.
Shreya, join me. It was time consuming. Or maabee – it wz tiem konsuming! Thx 4 tha gud werdz.
Hahaa.
dis was rlly funy btt intrusting. I want one mor post of dis kind.
O gurl, u r ez 2 rite 4! 😀
If you mention a letter, you might have to explain. I’m not to sure they even know how to visit the card department in Walmart. IB said she had to go show her kids how to use the mailbox. That is funny!
Faye, my answer to you is below Shreya.
Gr8 post, Gf ❤
I’m smiling – when I get time, I’m going to learn how to use those little smiley faces and all that heart’z kind of stuff. Thanks.
😎👍😊💜
