Description Tonight on The Variable, host Keith O’Reilly takes a look at the popularity of text-messaging. Is texting just another form of communication and simply an outgrowth of language, or is it just another reminder of a dumbed-down culture?

O’Reilly attempts to get the question answered by interviewing Amanda Murphy, the president of a pro-texting group called Txting Rulz.

This episode of The Variable introduces us to a new Fux News tool called The Textlator. The Textlator is a device that translates text-messaging into proper English. It appears as a closed-caption message at the bottom of the screen and is a Fux News exclusive technological innovation!

Just to clarify this page, it's assumed that she goes to McDonald's and Burger King with friends who can place her order for her without her having to talk to the cashier directly. She can text them and they can order the food.

Because of the Textlator at the bottom, this episode/issue was more cramped for space and I didn't feel like making an additional page or two to explain the remark.

O'Reilly left the issue slide, but he has a habit of letting a few things slide here and there.
