Texting.

When is it appropriate to put a 'x'?
Girl to girl = friendly
Girl to boy = friendly / flirty
Boy to boy = gay?
Is it even a kiss anymore?
I use them as if they were a full stop.

Another issue.
LOL ROFL LMFAO
Are you actually laughing?
HA HA HE HE
Better or worse?
Still sounds just as fake...
HE HE - Men should never make this noise let alone use it in a text

One more thing.
:-) ;-) :-p
Overuse/Misuse of faces.
Have you ever done a side wink and poked your tongue out at the same time in real life?
Didn't think so.


Follow these simple rules to avoid being a texting dick...

1) x's are not to be taken literally
2) 1 laugh abbreviation is to be used per text and ONLY if you are genuinely laughing
3) Only make faces you'd actually pull
4) Text language does not belong in the real world

Any additional rules are welcome.
