   What is swipe?
I just use my right index finger. I feel my thumbs are too big and not as exact.

It is slow, there are mistakes to fix, and I feel I have to get it right (I teach English). 
I much prefer to actually talk on the phone for an exchange of any real length, and then you also get intimacy and tone of voice.

Even posting here on my IPhone (my computer is down) is laborious!

	I mean when you text someone on your phone, do you swipe, use the 'two thumb method', or voice input? I typically start out swiping, then if I'm going back to correct a lot of mistakes I switch to two thumbs. I've done the voice thing a few times, but it's hard(for me) to get the punctuation straight in my mind.. you have to tell it what punctuation to use as you're talking. So just curious what method/s people on here usually use.
