Re: Siri & punctuation

[Keith B.]

Speaking of the texting abbreviations, I had a very humorous experience a 
while back that I shall relate. And by the way, I'm in my late 50's.

A lady close to my age was sending me text messages, and Voiceover would 
read the beginning of the messages as, "Hi, Grams".

I was about to confront her with the fact that I thought calling me "grams" 
was inappropriate as she is not my granddaughter. Then I thought to read by 
character with voiceover. What she intended to say was, "Hi. Good morning", 
using the g m as a text abbreviation for good morning. We all had a good 
laugh about it, and, yes, any texts I get from this person still say "Hi, 
Grams".

Re: Siri & punctuation

My sister who is not far off 70 and is, relatively, new to texting enfuriates 
me when she uses shorthand such as writing u where she should be writing y o u.
I had reason to congratulate a young man, 18 years old I think, on the beauty 
of his texts, no shorthand, correct punctuation and everything.  He replied 
that it was showing respect, so from his reply, he may have texted his 
contemporary friends in a, completely, different style.

I read something last week saying you are taken less seriously if you use 
punctuation in messages. I believe the study was of younger people. I don’t 
recall the ages when this does and does not apply.

 

No one should ever take me seriously!

Yeah. Try saying question mark as opposed to just question.

Is there a way to indicate a question mark if I am having Siri dictate a text 
message for me and I’m asking the recipient a question?   When I try, it 
captures the word question.

Hello,
I also hate text writing, actually, and I'm actually younger than 18. IN my 
opinion, writing properly shows that the person cares. I totally understand
