In the digital era, not only has the use of machines increased but human behaviour has also changed. At one time, speaking well was considered a quality of a person. A person who spoke boldly and clearly was considered the most intelligent. Even personal and professional relationships depended on the ability to speak.
Now with the changing times, the success of personal relationships or career does not depend only on speaking. Rather, a person can explain his point well by sending a message. Its trend has increased so much that according to the report of Statista, in 2023, Indians sent about 140 billion messages in a day. In such a situation, you should also know the manners of texting, so that you never get into any trouble.
Keep the text small, not too big
While texting, some people get so carried away by emotions that they write everything in one message. Whereas in text messaging communication, a very long message starts to feel like a burden. In such a situation, if you have a lot to say, then send it in several texts. So that it is easy for the receiver to read. When it feels like a burden, it becomes difficult to understand the message.
Do not send sensitive messages
Not everything can be conveyed over text because there is a huge difference between understanding something by saying it and understanding it by speaking it. In such a situation, breaking a relationship with someone, firing someone from a job, news of someone’s death or other sensitive information should not be sent through text. Such messages should be given over the phone or in person.
Don’t text at the wrong time
Some people do not pay attention to the time while texting. They never think about when and where they are texting. Some people text while eating. While texting during public gatherings can be considered rude, insensitive and disturbing. Apart from this, texting at midnight is also against texting etiquette.
Learn Common Abbreviations
There are some people in this world who do not know the meaning of common abbreviations but use them as a herd mentality. For example, LOL-laugh out loud, IDK I don’t know, FYI for your kind information TTYL talk to you later, LMK let me know. Use such abbreviations only when you know the full form.
history of text messaging
Texting, also known as SMS, began in the 1990s when mobile phones came into the market. At first it was used primarily as a form of communication. As technology grew, texting also evolved. Now text messaging is adopted as the preferred method of communication.
