    Today I had a malfunctioning phone that was doing a weird delayed kinda thingymyjig, which caused me to get numbers & texts mixed up

    On forums I find that what I write is often totally took out of context!
    Or maybe I am neither funny or sarcastic & just downright rude

    Texting is ok with someone you know or has contacted you, just make sure to delete them after you have read them.
    I use to break up with the girls by by text but now with the unlimited free calls package I just ring them.

    Think about what you want to convey before starting to write.

    Remember, others don't know what you are on about until you explain it to them so start at the beginning, move onto the middle which should make your message clear and then end with either your conclusion or question.

    I prefer to speak face to face and even then there can be misunderstanding.
    body language and tone are so important.

    All depends on the circumstances really and what you intend to say as you could be physical injured, some girls have right tempers on them

    That's very sound advice !

    Wish Irish Newspaper hacks took to it !!

    : After a brief effort with Irish dailies , I quickly given up on them , for lack of their linguistic structure .
    I do what I want. I cannot do otherwise.
