Learn how to text from 'The Text Book'

What should be done and what should not be done while texting? American author Elizabeth Rossi has explained this well, in her book 'The Text Book', she has mentioned those things which hardly any user would have kept in mind while messaging. Even though these things are very small, but they play an important role while conversing.

There are some points that you should keep in mind while texting.

1. Very long message- If you send long messages in text, then the person in front may get bored. In 'The Text Book', Elizabeth Rossi says that one should always send short messages. There is no point in unnecessarily prolonging a matter that can be finished in one message.

2. Straight talk- Write only important things in the text and that too to the point. Beating things too much in the text gives a negative impression.

3. Take care of the timing- While texting, you should take special care of the timing. Before texting, check what time it is. Is it too late or too early in the morning?

4. Avoid writing short words- Many people have the habit of talking in short words, if they want to send Okay to someone, they will just write K and send it. This may be right to look cool, but according to The Text Book, doing this is not the right way to text.

5. Avoid writing anything in the text- One should avoid writing some things in the text. For example, writing any sensitive information here can have a bad effect. It is also not right to talk about breaking up with someone.
