Some basic rules for anyone who texts on a regular basis:
1. If you don't want to talk to someone JUST DON'T ANSWER.
2. Don't just stop replying in the middle of a conversation, unless you're doing something in which you have to stop. This can make the other person feel like they're boring or annoying. And even if they are, well, it'll still make them feel bad.
3. It's rude to text someone and not put any effort into the conversation. You're the one that wanted to talk; there had to have been a reason.
4. One word answers suck. They very worst thing you can say is "yeah," "k," and "cool."
5. Try not to take forever to answer back. Even two minutes in real time can feel like two hours in text time. If you know you're in the middle of a conversation with someone, just take your phone with you wherever you go, and if you can't talk, say that before you leave.
6. Emoticons are very important when you're being sarcastic, just so there's no confusion.
7. Spell words right and use proper grammar. Shortening some words like "tho" and "u" is fine, but take the time to fix actually misspellings and make sure people can understand what you type.
