I'm one of the very few people left in the world that still doesn't have a cellphone, so I obviously don't ever send tect messages.

I thought that that was common knowledge.
I use T9 and I often get so used to it that I forget to check whether it guessed the right word or not.

It generally ends up with stupid sentences like 'she's here with of' instead of 'she's here with me'.

And also 'I'm at good' instead of 'I'm at home'.

T9 all the way! But now I'm doing it manually but still writing full words.

Manually, it makes me feel pride when I use correct grammar and punctuation when I send a text, because I normally get a message back saying, "lol u r rite" and that just fills my cup o' coffee in the morn'. If ya' know what I meen.

Ohh god I know.

I told people that if they text me with improper grammar, that I will not respond. Maybe by doing this, we can TRY to make the world a little smarter :D.

I do the same thing since most of my friends text like fucking idiots.

Type manually, though I rarely txt anything.

No, talking to the phone is boring. On the other hand, texting is more fun...

I use dictionary (or T9) on my phone all the time. It's so much faster. Plus, I can't stand not having proper spelling, punctuation, or grammar on my texts so that helps out a lot. the only annoying thing about it is when I'm trying to type in an uncommon word that my phone doesn't already have stored in its dictionary, so I have to manually type that word in. Other than that I think T9 is way better and faster.

Mine has a touch screen keyboard, so I type it out.

I've always typed the whole thing myself, I have never grown accustomed to the dictionary thingy.

Well done sir, you've seen the logic unlike many people.
However, texting does have its upsides. Its a hell of a lot cheaper, and more inconspicuous than talking. Ever tried having a heated argument with someone in the middle of class via phone conversation? Its a hello of a lot harder than texting.
