For sending text messages.

Hmmm, she's planning on buying clothes with the money.

Text messaging is the downfall of our society, IMHO. What a waste of ƒü©king time.

And to think, it's now being encouraged with cash prizes ... that's screwed up.

Yep, kind of like leaving posts on message boards for others to read.

The waste of time I refer to is the, "hit this one three times for a 'C,' then hit this one twice for a 'K'" and so on. It just seems so antiquated in this age of modern technology. It seems to me that it's about 20 times easier to just leave someone a voicemail.

As far as posting on an online forum being a waste of time, sure, sometimes it is, but at least my keyboard is in standard QWERTY format which allows me to get my thought across at 90 WPM, regardless of whether my thoughts are pertinent to anything.
