T9 You're Killin' Me!

OK, I may not be a digital citizen, but I know how to SMS y'all. I even use T9 to predict the word and help me type faster. But I do not have a smart phone...on several levels. And even when I try to go into my "dictionary" to "teach" my phone a new word, it will not remember it. In addition to being an SMS idiot, my phone does not like me to edit. So I spend a lot of time fighting with my phone, trying to get the little cursor in just the right spot. It takes a lot of energy and patience y'all. I'm supposed to use this cute little stylus that looked so fun in the store.

So here is my glossary for all my friends out there who receive SMS messages from me. Can you please just do me a favor and post this somewhere so you can decipher my messages? I promise if we agree to do this, I'll gain about an hour or so to every day.

1. When I am talking about my husband Kris, I do NOT mean Krishna, no matter what my phone says. Seriously? Why on earth does my phone know the word Krishna?

2. "Woohoo!" is now Wmmgmm! Please just know that I am celebrating with you.

3. While I am sometimes meek, I am "Jana" not "Lamb"

4. My phone does not like to "PTL" so can we just call it "Rules"?

5. And when I think something is really gross, please just let me say "Yukon".

6. If something is "yum" let's just agree to call it "zuo".

7. And if I will get back to you quickly, I'll tell you that I'll get you the information "ARCS"

In honor of Cyber Monday, I need some friends to feel my technology woes. Seriously, does anyone else have this problem?
