Question of the Week

Texting or calling?

Marlene Bishop, 67, retired church potluck seating consultant

Allegedly deciding at 104 Courtesy Court, Paducah, KY

Calling. If someone cares enough to hear my voice, I can spare five minutes. Besides, half the arguments I have witnessed began because somebody interpreted a period at the end of a text as emotional warfare.

Gordon Tully, 43, professional instruction manual translator

Allegedly replying from 8 Read Receipt Lane, Missoula, MT

Texting. Telephones assume I am prepared for conversation at any random moment. I object to that level of optimism.

Rita Hollis, 52, neighborhood rumor verification officer

Allegedly confirming details at 55 Busy Signal Drive, Wilmington, NC

Calling. You can learn more from six seconds of hesitation than six paragraphs of carefully edited texting. Human beings leak the truth through awkward silences.
