"My apologies. It is late and I can barely see the tiny iPhone screen with my tired, blurry eyes."

Hey, you don't need to apologize. I got a big laugh out of it. And I don't know how anyone can use a cell phone screen to do stuff on. When I'm on the road and access FR from my iPhone, I've tried to respond to comments, but it's terrible trying to hit the right letters, so any reply or comment has to wait until I get home to my laptop. I don't know how people can watch movies or play games on them either. But I'm old, so what do I know.

Amen to that, bro!

That's what I tried explaining to the cop. I said, "Do you know how tough it is to stay in the same lane when you're typing on your phone with one hand and holding a beer in your other?"

He was not the least bit understanding.

I'm a millennial and I don't do stuff on my phone either. I'm too focused on watching the zombies in front of me, staring at their phones, oblivious to oncoming traffic.

And yes I am a grammar snob, vain about spelling and punctuation. Way too vain to let a spell checker run. However, you can't always refine your message on the fly. Far as I'm concerned, all phone typing is first cousin to butt dialing.
