taxonomites | [TEXT] (backdated to the text-only portion of the glitch)

Dear Fellow Residents of Taxon, Is this enforced muteness a widespread situation? I find it disconcerting, although I find the quiet is appealing. This city is too loud, and too busy. In its defense, however, find it admirably clean. It is more concerning to me that so many people appear to be illiterate. I know that education is not a privilege that everyone has had the pleasure of receiving, but I had been made to feel as though it would be the rule here rather than the exception. Is there not a school of some sort, where people can learn their letters properly? I must take this time to extend my gratitude, though I admit I am somewhat loathe to do it, to Mr. Damon Salvatore, for your very kind gifts. Even though I do not understand your purpose. I do especially think the hats are very grand. Are any of you enough acquainted with a Mr. Don Draper, that you can tell me that he is well? I would not necessarily care, if it were not for my sense of Christian duty that I be sure he has not drunk himself to death as yet. It would be nice if writing could be done by pen and paper as it is meant to be, and not by pushing little lettered buttons. Yours very sincerely, Mattie Ross.

Dear Mr. Long, I suppose I must count myself lucky that I know only a very little bit of Latin and therefore cannot be considered fluent enough to lose my grasp of English. I do not think I would like that at all. It seems to me that once they have given up on pen and paper, people have forgotten how to write properly, or else they are lazy, and neither is a good excuse for appearing illiterate. However I do thank you for your offer of proper correspondence. Yours sincerely, Mattie Ross.

[ partially just to see your face, mattie. and then because he's having trouble not typing in french or italian. ]

[Mattie isn't used to emoticons, she doesn't even see a smile there, just random punctuation. What are you, Damon?]

Mr. Salvatore, Have your lost your ability to communicate entirely? Though I should not be surprised if you did. Yours, Mattie Ross.

[ pause. ]

[ that took forever to type, damon hates this a little. ]

It is sideways. And lacks a nose.

[Mattie is unimpressed with your artistic skills, Damon. She may, however, have missed the nickname a little bit lately.]

[ again, this text takes forever. ]

[ okay, damon actually lol'd. for that, mattie gets less effort towards english. ]

( translation | 'well played'. )

Kindly try to use English, Mr. Damon, I do understand whatever it is you are attempting to tell me.

[ fuuuuuuuuuuuuck damon hates that a simple missive of seven words took him that long to put together. ]

Thank you. Why did you send me all those packages?

[The reply comes after a long pause, due to the fact that Mattie rewrites it numerous times.]

I have been told that you might have done it because you fancy me.

[And after numerous rewrites, she decides to go with option: blunt.]

[ sorry mattie, he thinks this is HILARIOUS. ]

I think that you enjoy confusing people.

I do not think that is a good reason for sending gifts.

[ enjoy angela's text-typing, mattie. she's not a bad typer when it comes to paperwork, but on cell phones (or cell phone-like devices), she's not terribly adept at it. ]

( translation | can't you use this function to write, too? )

Ma'am, I do not understand anything but English, so I do not know what you believe would be functional. Sincerely, Mattie Ross.[/tt?
