Marcy, i will not argue what you said, but I have a habit of writing fairly long texts. In previous versions of IOS, I would write a text and would hear a whoosh and another woosh if it was too long. Now it always says iMessage and when I send I only hear one whoosh. Now, I do not know if my textee gets 2 texts, never asked, but all I hear now is one winging its way to whomever! Just an observation, and I may not know 2 are being generated on one whoosh.
