I probably seem illiterate.

My cell phone doesn't have an apostrophe. What I mean is, when I'm texting and scan through my punctuation choices, an apostrophe is not one of them.

This is really frustrating for me.

I end up sending texts that look like I don't know the difference between "its" and "it's." I totally know the difference. Or, I have to include things like "dont" and "yall." It's embarrassing.

I believe correct grammar and punctuation does not change for texting, e-mails, or whatever other form of digital communication. My phone (or its manufacturer) seems to disagree. Who thought to leave out the apostrophe? It really is essential. I have like 36 different smiley face options, but not an apostrophe. It's sad, really.

The good news? I get to upgrade my phone next month. I'm basing my decision on apostrophe inclusion.
