12 Most Common Texters You Will See

We all text. There is no denying it. And we love doing it. Ok ok, I hear a no from some, but majority of us do. Soon with the arrival of multiple chatting options, the text messages became obsolete; Whatsapp and Facebook became talk of the town. And it did change our texting patterns. We might be hating some or doing them ourselves but texting has changed our way of life!
So here are some most common types of texters you are bound to come across if you text.

#1 The Conversation Killers: This category has to top the list undoubtedly. ‘Hmm’ and ‘K’ being the most frequently used to kill the conversation, deserve a special mention. Getting a ‘hmm’ as a reply seems like there’s nothing more left to say and leaves you wondering what to reply! ‘K’ is even worse! I wonder when there’s no limit to number of characters that can be sent at a time what calls for the abandonment of poor O! How many more seconds would it take to type O along with K and make it look like lot more sensible! OK?

#2 The Abbreviators: Following closely is this category of people who have one big aim of using only and only abbreviations! Life was simple until only LOL was there but soon followed ROFL, BTW, GTG, BRB, @TEOTD (At the end of the day), AFAIK (As far as I know); just to name a few! My glossary is running out!

#3 Emoticon-Lovers: These people don’t need words, they will find the perfect emoticons to answer every text. I know emoticons were created to accompany emotions but overuse of them!?! I wonder if they have forgotten their alphabets or what??

#4 Emoticon-Hater: These people won’t ever use an emoticons in their messages. Texting with them feels like getting replies from automated machine that doesn’t have any feelings! Phew! Hard to figure out the emotions on the other side just through text! Keep wondering, if it was a compliment or a comment or joke! *Sigh*

#5 Perfect Conventees: These are the people who still haven’t given in to the texting language. These are the people who had probably sworn that they won’t ever let go of the English lessons taught in school. They still type full spellings of each and every word, and will correct the smallest of the mistakes made! *Phew* Texting them feels like sending a message to a strict English teacher.

#6 Murderers-of-English: These are definitely the ones who will give our ‘Perfect Conventees’ a heartache. While most of us have become the victim of texting phenomenal and use the new evolving texting language, these are the people who are the founders of this new language. They would mercilessly squeeze out the vowels and all unwanted consonants from the word or will replace alphabets with other ones to create a new word. Pls frgv me fr ma mstk! 😛

#7 Typo-Queen/King: These ones are the most hilarious ones not because they have good sense of humor or because they are funny but the their messages surely are. They give a reason for the recipient to laugh a little just because they meant type something and ended up typing something else; courtesy the not-so-helpful-word-prediction! 😛

#8 Non-Punctuators: Another group of persons that can give our ‘Perfect Conventees’ a run for their life are these Non-Punctuators. They won’t ever use any kind of punctuation. There is possibly no way to judge if their sentence was a statement, a question, a request or an exclamation! A puzzle it might be, Go Figure!

#9 Broadcasters: This set of people consider it their sole responsibility to forward every joke/information they receive to every known person or the group they are in. You won’t ever receive a hi-hello from these but a forward message for sure every once in a while! 😛

#10 Ignorants: This lot of people are so busy or appear to be so busy that they don’t have time to reply to any kind of message they receive! Forget getting a simplest LOL or emoticon as a reply to any joke, they won’t even bother replying to a casual hello. They aren’t bothered about the insult you might feel due to their ignorance but this is their way of life I guess. And if they do reply after ages, consider yourself lucky 😛 😉

#11 Instant-Texters: They are exact opposite to the Ignorant ones and probably the ones that are most hurt by the Ignorants. Thier tagline is bound to be- Get a Reply within 2 seconds! 😉 You text them and be sure to get a reply within seconds. You can consider them dependable in any emergency situation as they never let their phone out of their sight. 😛 There is slight possibility of a slightly late reply, may be then they are really busy?

#12 Essay-Writers: They are the ones who will exploit the wordcount-no-bar facility the most! Their replies will be slow but will be surely long! Whole story in one go! It took them five minutes typing it; so now you lean back, take a deep breath and take another 5 minutes to read it! 😛

This was my observation of the Texting World. So, which one are you? Or If i missed out some, tell me!
