If a text requires much more than a short sentence, I’ll reply with an email. My two stubby forefingers can negotiate a keyboard a lot faster than they can fat-finger a cellphone.
Yup. My daughter laughs at my driving, because when it gets snaky and I have to pay attention due to traffic/route/road conditions, I have to turn down the radio.

It would drive me crazy trying to talk to my mother on the phone. Although she had hearing difficulties, she would never turn down the television, which I could hear in the background. It’s exhausting to repeat every third word when someone is not bothering to help the situation.

Try doing talk to text with the TV on. You won’t belive the gibberish you end up sending.
