My daughters were shocked when I blocked their phones’ text messaging function. I had repeatedly asked that they communicate with me by using complete sentences and correct spelling. They soon realized I was serious.

LOL. Good for you. I do like texting, but I LOVE the fact that you are insistent about the WAY you and your daughters communicate. Wonder what tortures they’ll inflict on their daughters some day thanks to the way they were raised!

Really? On the cell phone? I could see enforcing that with e-mail, but phone texting? That is extremely harsh and quite frankly expensive. Oh well I guess you have your reasons. I want my children to write correctly but appropriately and realistically as well. BTW, I can diagram a sentence in a New York Minute.

Good for you. I figure the next generation will have no clue when it comes to spelling.
