P2CR - It may be a tad disingenuous to describe texts a "in writing". "In writing" rarely means that anymore. Emails, texts, typing, etc. could and more often than not are labelled as "in writing". However it was never likely to be a handwritten letter. When someone states on a visible and record-able medium that they are doing something, the options are to accept what they say, refute what they say or investigate further. Even now I am typing "what they say" when they nothing was said verbally. That also is a common term with extended meaning. We are all left with our own interpretation of that which is presented to us. The one thing that stands out blatantly for all textual formats, is that we have no idea how they were meant to be taken as we cannot remotely judge the emotions, facial expressions or original context. Having received texts, did they "have it in writing"? We each must make our own best assumption based on current and trending definitions.
