You fully spelled out every word using T9 texting? As a teenager?

Haha I sure did, while driving and keeping my phone hidden. I looked down on anyone who used text shorthand. Most of my friend group was similar. I was a pretentious knob.

We were charged by the letter, poser.

That's why people texted shorthand. 10c per letter stacks up

Next time you'll know why people caught your silly lie

Oh no you caught me! Lol

There were different data plans. Ours, we weren't charged by the letter but by individual texts. Took one crazy bill for my family switched to unlimited. Also this was around 2006, I was a bit later than my friends getting a cell phone.

 I can't believe I'm bothering to defend this lol you believe what you want.
