I think with smart phones and data on phones becoming more common, texting might actually be replaced with more internet-based messaging (there's no need for a separate SMS service if both of you have Internet on your phone). I think of texting as an alternative to phone calling, not email.

This.

Email kind of died from IMing and Facebook.

@SquarepantsPotter My crush and I email eachother the equivalent of a novel every night :)

I email my best friend these lengthy messages every now and then. I personally prefer emailing because you can write a lot more, but nobody I know really emails back. D:

I still email my dad....

I wonder when people are going to realize that it's so much better to just pick up the fucking phone and talk to people instead of writing messages back and forth

I have unlimited texting, but only 700 minutes for the whole family, so that's why I don't call people.

How is E-mail ancient?

@Uhm... Is it called making a phone call? Because it's pretty much the same thing.

...No... It's called He Says It, the Phone Copies It as It Sounds, and He Sends It as a Text. So for example, he tried saying "taxi" but because of his accent, the text he sent to me said "texi".

My phone has that but it is not worth using. For example:

words spoken into it: "hey whats up?"
phone translation: "head of peanutbutter?"

It gets awkward sometimes.

Because maybe he's in the car, and he also doesn't know English fabulously so it's kind of distracting trying to figure out how to spell one word or another. And don't even try saying "well taxi isn't exactly hard to spell" because then you're nitpicking and completely missing the point.
