WHAT WE HAVE HERE: A FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE

It is the {weirder; weirdest; weird} thing. There are more ways than ever to communicate with people, yet it sometimes seems like it is more difficult to connect — and stay {connecting; connected; to connect} — with anyone.

Should you {shoot; mail; give} off an email？ Tap out a text？ Post a private message on Facebook？ Write on their Facebook wall？ Skype, poke, ping or conjure them up on a digital tin can phone？

And once you reach someone, you wonder: Is he paying attention？ How do you know？ Even with the techno-ease of {uncountable; countable; countless} communication devices, conversations can still be troublesome. Questions are asked and answered {out; away; within} of order. Instructions and directions go half-read. Meetings are botched. Feelings are hurt.
