TEXT MESSAGING ETIQUETTE

A posting of mine on the Gbu 310 Wiki page included a reference to a website concerning texting etiquette; I would like to sum up this site for you now. This website entitled 4 basic texting etiquette rules everyone should follow I just like it sounds and contains only 4 rules for its readers to contemplate when texting. First is to not text when you wouldn’t call is a simple question of timing, if you can’t give someone enough of your time to speak then trying to carry on texting is out of the question. Second is a matter of personal privacy in Be careful what you text that says not to send out confidential, private or potentially embarrassing information. Thirdly is to keep in mind that people cannot hear your tone in a text message and could possibly cause misunderstandings. The final rule this website tries to convey is that you should not expect an immediate response to all your texts since the main reason people text is because they are unable to talk and that may also prevent them from responding to a text.
