talk in most cases, especially work related, dealing with repair folks, etc.

From List: "Writing is easier than talking for us sometimes. Email is the best because it helps us get the thoughts out of our heads without being interrupted. Thinking about giving us a call? Try a text or email instead."


Interestingly, I detest talking on the phone. I do it, but I can remember a time when I'd drive 50 miles to see if a store had something, rather than calling. Luckily, in a lot of cases now, I can email or check inventory online.

The internet has really improved my life.

PS: Luckily I took typing in high school, and can usually type faster than I can talk.
