In reply to the discussion: George Zimmerman Witness Can't Read Letter She 'Wrote' About Shooting [View all]JustAnotherGen
(31,781 posts)I'm 40 and work in the wireless industry. I.E. I always have the latest and greatest device.
I receive many text messages from my 20-something MBA co-workers and very often have to pick up the phone or walk to their desk to understand what the hell they are talking about.
My husband IS fluent in SMSology - and I sometimes have him respond to text messages for people who canNOT take a call at the moment, need info from me, but the info is complex.
What takes me a 'message' that gets truncated into 6 or 7 messages - he can spit out in 1 - or 2 messages max.
He also likes to remind me that I'm the one that works in the industry - so it's fun to laugh at me when I say I'm going to 'send an SMS'. He always comes back with "An ENTIRE service? Or just one message? "
