Not just the spoken word, how about the written word!
Speaking to someone – you know maybe an old-fashioned phone call – has been replaced by the text message. I’m guilty as charged, sending at least 15 and sometimes 50 a day. It isn’t the sending that’s the problem.
Aren’t you amazed by how many incomplete or just generally unresponsive responses you receive. It’s as if they just keep on talking/typing and don’t hear/read a word.
