Communication Atrocities

I have any number of friends, family members, acquaintances who struggle in this area, and am really just choosing one at random to pick on, but are people like this functioning in the world? Here is an exact duplication of a text conversation with a friend:

(two days ago)

Friend: If I email u a sound clip can u burn it on to a cd for me?? 12:52 PM
Me: Sure. 1:11 PM
Friend: K thank you 1:23 PM
Friend: What's your email address 1:41 PM
Me: pathtoeternity@gmail.com 1:57 PM
Friend: Sent 2:09 PM
Me: It does not appear that anything ever arrived. Want to double check the address and try again? 5:40 PM
Friend: :( it said unable to deliver 6:39 PM
Me: pathtoeternity@gmail.com - or was the file too large? 6:39 PM
Friend: Idk 6:42 PM
Friend: I will chk whn I get home 6:42 PM

(today)

Friend: What email do I send the files to? 5:17 PM
Me: pathtoeternity@gmail.com 5:18 PM
Friend: K 5:22 PM
Friend: I think I typed it eying last time 5:22 PM
Me: No problem. 5:23 PM
Friend: I am resending it 5:24 PM
Me: Sounds good. I will look for it. 5:25 PM
Friend: Sending now 5:25 PM
Friend: Sent 5:25 PM
Friend: K 5:29 PM
And nothing ever came, by the way - and after the spelling and punctuation abominations committed in our exchange, I don't honestly expect anything to ever show up.

Have people no dignity, no self-respect?

By the way, you might want to remove your email address.



Everyone should get banned at least once.

It amuses me that as books become an endangered species, written communication skills become more necessary.

I also find myself often wondering how friends and acquaintances function in the real world.
