I've been seeing warnings that the FBI says we should stop texting, but I can't find anything on the FBI website-- no articles, statements, or press releases on this topic.
People using abbreviations while texting is commonplace. However, research from Stanford University suggests it could signal that you don’t care about the conversation. “A lack of perceived effort could be detrimental to interpersonal connections when texting,” the authors wrote in the study, published by the American Psychological Association. @sciencefocus has more: https://flip.it/wIQvB7

I wrote a story where the narrator contacts the city to complain. She uses the city’s website. A couple of reviewers wondered why she didn’t phone, instead. The story is based loosely upon a true story where I had a problem with the city and contacted them online. I didn’t even consider calling them up, because I don’t phone anyone when I can instead send a message. Maybe it comes from having worked at a call centre, but I loathe using the phone. Anyone else? #phone #texting #idiosyncrasies

Some people have multiple addresses and it's hard to know which one they want me to use for sending personal messages. Plus their phone number! Plus their Discord, Whatsapp, Signal, Slack, Steam, Facebook, Twitter usernames.

You’re not imagining it. Companies are texting you more and more. Vox writer Emily Stewart puts it well when she says “I’d rather a friend ask me to a party than an app made by the pharma giant that makes Botox.” Here’s more: https://flip.it/RgiKl9
