The moral superiority of predictive text

My cell phone is an optimist.

I rarely text. Compared to my niece, Madison (who set a record last month of 10,000 texts), I NEVER text. It's a little demoralizing, really, to admit my thumb exercises are stunted by the paltry fee of $0.10 a text. Every time I send one, I think, "Hmmm . . . better be worth it. That just added to my bill." When I actually stop and review with perspective, though, I'm perfectly fine with the added charges--it's not like I'm living on Ramen.

But I do text enough to notice an endearing quirk to my little digital dude. Every time I try and type in the word "no" it assumes I want to type "on". Negativity is so five years ago. ;o)
