The Good, The Bad and The Ugly...

Back in April, I FINALLY got a Smartphone...I was so excited to have that thing in my hot little hand.  I jumped in with both feet, trying to learn as much as I could about it's features and how I could use them to make my life easier. GOOD.

I don't know about you...but I LOVE being able to text and email clients from my Smartphone.  I especially love texting as you can quickly send a reminder, picture or contact and see immediately that the item was delivered.  GOOD. 

Shortly after I got my Smartphone, it became evident that texting for me was going to be much more difficult than with my prior phone. I couldn't seem to get the hang of typing on the virtual keyboard. BAD. 

I found that I was spending much more time proofreading, which is ironic because there is an autocorrect feature. BAD.

           Speaking of autocorrect, I have a love/hate relationship with it.

How about you?

I have, on more than one occasion, sent texts to clients with seemingly unidentifiable "language" in it which also then took more time to clarify. UGLY.

I once sent a message to client (a long time, close-friend client) with unintended profanity in it! UGLY. 

Moral of the story? 

Turn that autocorrect off, double and triple check those texts to clients or make the decision to only use texting for very short messages as it was intended~SMS after all stands for Short Messaging System.

Let's all be sure to make autocorrect  your best friend and not your enema...I mean ENEMY! :)

Thanks for reading...and remember to Say it with Style.
