Last but not least: Are you still wack?

Actually, there are only a few rules that texters need to follow. It’s no problem at all if you have a clear head. Unfortunately, though, most people don’t always have one.

The rules: Don't try to explain complicated issues, don't end relationships, don't hide irony between the lines (unless you're sure that the undertone will come across - even without a smiley), only use smileys in an extreme emergency anyway, don't use abbreviations that nobody understands, stay politically correct and, last but not least, carefully check the text message recipient again before finally sending the message. It's actually not that difficult to stick to these rules. If you have a clear head. Unfortunately, we don't have one every minute of our lives. A bar, loud music, fog from the fog machine or from the mouths of our fellow smokers - plus a beer, two beers, three beers...then the fatal reach for the cell phone - it goes without saying that we can't and/or don't want to stick to all the text message rules in such a situation. Well, one or two smileys too many or one or two incomprehensible abbreviations typed - no problem. Major mistakes, however, can have serious consequences - there are no limits to the imagination at this point. So far, so good, it's all been known since the cell phone was invented. It's just a shame when the missteps in SMS form not only reach the (hopefully at least correct) recipient, but also the Internet - where, as is the case on the Internet, they can be read by the whole world. The site is called Smsvongesternnacht.de. It's worth taking a look at the collected embarrassments.
