Remember when "thumbing" meant you were acting like Fonzi or hitchhiking? If you own a smart phone you might be tempted to add a postscript to all of your messages to excuse your poor typing.
Don't. Spend the extra minute re-reading your note. I swear you'll sound smarter.
Here is a sampling of disclaimers I've had land in my inbox recently:
- Warning: Phone keyboards cause typos.
- typed on a phone
- Sent on-the-go
- Thumbed on a phone
- two thumbs on a tiny keyboard
- Typed on an exasperatingly small keyboard
- sent while mobile
- Typed on a phone with British spell check
- sent from big thumbs on a small phone
FYI, Typed on a flat surface with short stroke depths and no carriage returns...
