Before this heads any more off-topic....
Talking is my prefered method although I do believe I'm in the minority. In fact I refuse to get unlimited texting because I just don't use it that much. I've just seen so many fights happen between people texting because you can't read intent like you can hear it while talking. It happens on here too, where someone says something as a complete joke or whatever and it's taken the exact opposite way by someone else but then 2 other people interpret it another way.
