Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: tekst tuall at ten shun
Sentence: Mimi's main social interactivity was that which she played out everyday by texting, e-mailing and on-line networking with her friends, family and people from long ago and far away who looked her up.

How the heck did her parents ever meet and marry in the Dark Ages, she wondered...
