Justin Long and his Texting Adventure

This is a funny post about teens and there strange way of typing when texting. Justin Long is a not incredibly famous actor, but my favorite thing he has ever been in is Dodgeball. Here is a picture.

Well he is has an iPhone and iPhones receive texts mesages and he was so lucky as to receive a text from a girl with a wrong phone number. She mistook Justin for her friend Eduardo and being the wonderful person he is, Justin did nothing to correct her in her wrong assumption and went along with it. He noticed her bizarre way of spelling words in her texts, such as dat for that. Is it really that hard to type two letters instead of one? So Justin decided to continue with this terrible spelling. Here is an example: "Okay foin. i read it WUNSC so sue me!...it was actually kyweet elnightening wat. do u reeeeeed?" Here is the translation into real English: "Okay fine. I read it once, so sue me!....It was actually quite enlightening. What? Do you read?"
While Justin was purposefully making these terrible spelling and grammatical errors the girl also continually used an obnoxious amount of misspellings and shorthand as well. She never did realize who she was really talking to, even when he tried to tell her he wasn't actually Eduardo.
Well from this I have learned some kids today feel the need to text in a very strange and unorthodox way to "minimize" the amount of energy expended typing. Dat is y sum peeps just dont eva tipe anythin out correctly.
