Linkage: Texting enables, comments disabled.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 3 comments link this postTwo blogs had posts that caught my eye.
The first wrote a brief post on whether or not texting, with all its abbreviations and short-cut writing, was really the "death" of English. I admit that I used to think so, and I still get annoyed when people use texting practices in mediums that do not require such abbreviation (email, notes, etc.) However...after trying to learn to read various things in connection with recent flying lessons (weather, A/FD notes) I can see the benefit of being able to see a few letters and extrapolate the word behind it.

I've disabled comments off and on for this blog, but generally, new posts have comments. Other bloggers, however, have come to the conclusion that it is better to not have comments. I'd be curious to know what readers think, particularly readers that don't have their own blogs to function as a way to comment on things they read online.

They have decided not to allow comments maybe because THEY DON'T GET ANY?

Ha -- great minds think alike.
My first thought was pretty much that. "Do they even get comments, or is this a way to make them feel better about themselves?"

I Don't comment often, but I would like to be able to.
I agree with David.
What arrogance to think that your word is the last on anything.
I don't moderate, do the word thingy or anything.
But, I don't get as many comments as do you. I want the ones I get, from friends and family.
Just my $.02 worth.
