Journal jeffy124's Journal: Dngrs of Wrtng Lk Ths 4

Journal by jeffy124 on Monday March 03, 2003 @09:06PM

Concern whether shorthand writing used online is in the news again. A British 13-year old girl submitted an essay to her teacher entirely in online shorthands and acronyms. Can't until Google comes up with a translator for this "language."

Update: Rejected. Though I didnt really expect it to be posted anyway.

Can't what?

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I thought I'd atleast ask and allow someone to point out how dumb I am.

    I doubt the "editors" would have caught it, either.

I actually dislike the most cryptic abbreviations used in SMS and even emails every now and then. I pride on myself to write in proper English, even in SMS'es, largely thanks to the T9 dictionary integrated to my new cellphone :)
Writing SMS has really leaped forward with this input method (dictionnary based). Too bad that Nokia hasn't figured out a combination yet for often-used symbols or punctuation/combinations such as smileys..
