The Dangers of Technology.....Yicks !

I have never tried speaking a text. Thank you for the post. 

Sally K. & David L. Hanson If you are using an iPhone I would be surprised if you have any errors, but most likely meant what you said, because iphones are controlled by 'Geniuses'.

I absolutely hate to text but it is a necessity of today.  

I get verbal texts all the time.  And sometimes I know what I am reading is NOT what the other party is saying!

This is a very good reminder that a little proof reading is always a good measure.

Hope you have a nice big deck to spend some time on this summer!  

OK You will have to email what the story is....the darn voice to text is horrible some times!

Good morning Sally: I've learned the same thing..proof read when speaking text!

Well it's big enough for me, but not sure it would be for everyone.  

Sally,

Proof reading is key in all we do.  As it is so many things can be taken out of context...A

Sally and David I quickly learned that proof ready lesson.  I hate to type on the little phone keypad so I also use the voice to text feature, and several times the word typed is not what I said.  I ALWAYS proof read!!!

So agree, the phone corrects the words, which may not be the ones you want to write,,, it can be so  cumbersome, and then embarassing when it self corrects to something you had no intention of expressing!  It is so easy to just hit send when you are multi-tasking-but it pays to double, triple check, and yes, your suggestion is well taken.  Thanks for the post!

Sally, Always ... Always ... Always proof read.  I'm still laughing at a text my son sent to me.  I had asked him if he was doing okay financially ... he had a small gap in between jobs. 

He responded: Yes, I got laid twice last week which helped. 

Of course, I responded:  Do you mean paid?

He said: Opps, yes, paid. 

Every time I need a good laugh I go back to that text message and I laugh just as hard each time. 

You only need to send an improper text once to teach you to proof BEFORE hitting send!

Oh boy ... this should be good.  I'll be writing for the FULL story, Sally K. & David L. Hanson ...

PS:  A lesson learned .. definitely ...

Sally and David- if your "oops" text is anything like the "x" rated text that I almost sent thanks to "speaking a text", then I'm going to have to email you to find out what it was. 

Good morning Sally. I can totally agree. Sometimes Siri prints some strange things.
