Lost in Translation

Seeing is believing, but the problem is, you can't always believe what you see.    That seems to be the problem with texting.  "Heard you went to the party with John last night."  Is the writer of this text happy for you, mad at you, or just curious to see if you were there?  It is difficult for one to tell when all you have to go buy is words.  What is missing, is the tone.  I suggest that when texting always use an emoticon.  Simply inserting a smile, frown, or tear can let your reader know what tone is meant.  Misunderstandings or hurt feelings can be a thing of the past when texting with emoticons.  So, texting with emoticons can change your world from "lost in translaton" to "found in motivation."  :)
