TXTNG nw rlgn?
I have a link to this article from languagehat.com
And I find it fascinating enough to write about. I bought a blackberry pearl about 2 months ago. I wonder how I existed before.
Man those keys are small. But "suretype" sure works.
And they enable me to try and say exactly what i intend in 140 characters. Thats perhaps how txtng came to be and it has so many antecedents. Remember that secret code you had for the fort down in the wild area behind the elementary school. (No girls allowed) In the tradition of those silly but wonderful "Our Gang" movies from saturday morning.
Telegrams armys just plain abbreviations. oh my.. Read the piece its good.
