I was slow to adapt to texting. Even now, I don't text people that often. For the longest time, it irked me when a DJ or talk show host would announce a contest and say, "Send a text to (our station) at..."
I'd think, "Send a text? That's not a proper contest. A proper contest is one in which you call the station, get a busy signal, hang up, try again quickly, and repeat the process far too many times until you hear the announcer say there's a winner or you win unexpectedly and convey mild enthusiasm."
Of all the nerve...I don't know what the world thought it was doing, progressing without clearance from me.
