[G4] apps issue...outta nowhere

[Crandon David]

I agree. If you are texting on a cell phone without a full keyboard  
it's tolerable, but not when you have a full keyboard. It's annoying  
when somebody purposefully is making it harder to read. I don't mean  
purposely making it harding to read, but rather purposely using a  
style of writing that makes it harder to read. But I've also seen  
far, far worse.
