Now I'm still a bit new (OK. I'm OLD!) to this texting thing.
I'm heading up to Dallas to visit my Grandson for Easter the other day.
Past the half way mark and give fair warning to my Daughter that I'll be there in two hours.
Not sure of all the shorthand that is so commonplace. Most of it makes sense to me, well 70% or so anyway.
The plan was to text... "See you in two hours."
I was attempting to key in...
C (space) U (space) N (space) two hrs. Ok???
I keyed in C U N T and hit a bump (before I could complete the word "two") that hit the send button and made it go through as shown... TO MY DAUGHTER...

Please do not text and drive lest this or worse could happen to YOU...

Hahaha!!

Use the talk feature next time, although sometimes it still replaces words!

Yes everyone, thanks for all the great advice ex-post-facto.
I just got an Ifone 4S with Siri. But it is way too complex for this burnt out Roadie.

Yep it was a great weekend and the grandson is starting to grow up and lose the baby fat. He'll be 3 next month, and WHOA what ball of energy.
Unfortunately my kids know all too well what a world class screw up the old man can be. After all, I was a teenaged Ironworker.... I could F/U a wrecking ball with a ball peen hammer!

HAHAHAHAHAHA......your enjoying those youngins ...that is the point bro.   Keep being thier playtoy as much as you are able...I personally feel that those are reward points being cashed in.  Jeez it all goes by so fast don't it.   Give ya a tip, let the kids program the phone and then demo it to ya.  No brain cells burnt and the kids are eager....win win.

holler at me when you get da chance...but dont text me on the way to the next job...im sensitive that way.
