Ten percent of British people kind of suck

According to this CNN article, one in 10 Britons admits to dumping someone by text message. Maybe this is why British people need those text message affirmations?



I wonder what the statistics for this kind of thing would be in the United States. None of my friends are big text-message users (or if they are, they just don't send messages to me!) so I can't imagine this is as popular here. Unless they're surveying the pre-teen set, maybe?
