I like "mosaic quilt"- definitely art world sounding! On the grammar errors-I often use voice text when texting someone, faster BUT- I know I need to check it carefully before hitting the send button! The difference between what I say and what Siri writes can be hilarious-and sometimes mortifying if sent unedited, even worse than auto correct which, at times, drives me crazy!

Oh, I had one ALMOST mortifying auto-correct mistake. I had a bag of school uniforms to pass down from my son to his younger friend. I had arranged to give them to the boy's dad as we were waiting in the carpool line. I texted him when I got to the line. I INTENDED to write, "Hi, Bob. I have clothes for you." But just before I hit "send" I proofread. Good thing I did. The word "clothes" had been changed to "urges."
