Mobile Industry Review: Text speak and the teens

  • Samantha · 1 year ago
    Text Speak is truly terrible. I'll admit, I went through a phase when I was about eleven, but anyone with any common sense will know that numbers, and the misplacement of letters does not compensate for actual English.

    I agree with you about the Blogging, it's just I know very few people of my age who do actually Blog. I've tried to persuade others to do so, but to no prevail!

    My irritation with txk spk lead me to create http://shkspr.mobi/ - it's a translation of all of Shakespeare's work into SMS friendly language.

    If you can bear it, try Romeo and Juliet or even a few sonnets

    Writing is good - but it's useless if no one can read it. I'm one of those annoying types who makes sure my 160 characters are filled with vowels and punctuation. I respect my reader too much to make them struggle to understand my message.
