Benny Ling’s Bling

A Californian father was left speechless when he discovered his teenage daughter had sent an astonishing 14,528 text messages in one month.

via Teen sends 14,500 texts in a month.

That’s actually impressive.

480 texts per day – at a rate of two every minute.

My personal record is something like 2400 in a month – but that’s nothing compared to 14,500 in a month.

Sheesh.

Why Doesn’t it Work for Me?

If smileys work for others at your site but not for you:

Type a space before and after your smiley text. That prevents the smiley being accidentally included in the text around it.

Make sure not to use quotes or other punctuation marks before and after the smiley text.
