Does it still say "is" after your name. Mine does, it says "Linda is" and then I can choose a message from the box or write in my own message. The problem with this is that sometimes the message I want to write doesn't fit with "is". What if I want to say "Linda wants to chat". The "is" would really get in the way here. Instead it would read, "Linda is wants to chat". That's no good.

"Fear not, Facebook has listened to their users. Over 164,000 members in a Facebook group lobbied to get rid of the clunky "is" verb and succeeded." ~Chris Gilmer, Download Squad.

This is a big relief. But when is this going to happen? I certainly don't know. For those of you who use this feature, this probably can't happen fast enough.
