"Unlimited send and receipt of text"

[Mr. Gates]

Jeez . Who cares about proper spelling when its just a text!
And it would have been cool if AT&T found some way to send that notification WITH an MMS pic.

EDIT : and before you all start "explaining" why that would not be possible , Admit... it would have been cool

I replied to it as well ... It just felt good inside:

I don't mind at all, and thanks for giving me another "x" ... I think it makes me slightly more "internet-tuff" haha.

You know, I'm sure nobody really cares but the usage in AT&T's automated text message isn't really right, but the problem isn't with the word 'receipt'. When people have trouble with usage in compound subjects or objects I advise them to use the words individually to figure out which construction is correct. Works great with 'me' and 'I', when people can't figure it out otherwise. I have no problem with "unlimited receipt of text...", but nobody would say "unlimited send of text...". AT&T probably should have used the gerund (verbal noun) "sending".

There, I said it.

Gerunds!! I love proper grammar haha and you provide an excellent point! Let us also not forget about the lack of "in order" (id est, "To enable MMS" should be "In order to enable MMS").

And what's up with the ampersand replacing the third "and" but not the other three? Crazy 🙄
