Oh em gee, yes, it is odd.
You mean rather than typing to someone?
Whether you text, email, phone, fax, or use other comparable methods to connect with someone, you’re sending a message and communicating so in essence, you’re talking to them in a roundabout way right? My interpretation might be a little broad on this but it’s the best explanation I can offer at this point.
And welcome to Fluther, koldblue!
Lately I’ve been referring to it as “contact” for some reason. And I didn’t realize it until now. I’ll be like “contact me later.” Just because there are so many possibilities nowadays. And when I tell myself not to call, email, etc. my exboyfriend I tell myself not to “contact” him, not to not “talk” to him…hm…
@Bluefreedom Thanks for the welcome. Just seems strange as “talking” actually invloves speech. But, with the onset of technology your explanation makes more sense.
And also as strange that ALL CAPS really does feel like shouting?
YES! I’VE GOTTEN INTO ACCIDENTAL ARGUMENTS OVER SOMEONE HITTING CAPS LOCK BY MISTAKE
and this is a whisper, how strange
