2b Or !2b: Shakespeare TxtMsg Contest 159

Posted by Hemos from the can-it-be-in-l337-speak dept.
FortKnox writes "Reuters has an article on a contest for the most aspiring text message. It has to be under 160 characters, because it follows the trendy text-messaging for modern mobile phones. Most people will try to make long quotes with abbreviations and numbers and such to bring it down to the appropriate length."

  • In Japan... (Score:1)

    by Anonymous Coward
    Back in the days when old-school pagers were around that could only handle numbers people in Japan were using 1337 speak to message people everyday.

    For example to say "let's go to see a movie" could be expressed as 818 321504, which can be pronounced, "eiga miniikouyo"

    In Japanese...
    8='hachi' or in english 'eight'
    1='ichi' or in 'one' or it looks like the katakana character which is pronouned 'E'
    8=it can also be read 'ga' in this case. no idea why.
    3=pronounced 'san' or 'mitsu' so, in this case, 'mi'
    2='ni' or 'hutatsu' so we use 'ni'
    1=like the katakana character for 'E' again.
    5='go' or 'itsutsu' in this case, we use go, which is the same character for 'ko' minus just one " looking thing.
    0=it looks like English 'O' so it's pronounced like that in this case.
    4='yon', or 'shi', so in this case we just take the first part, 'yon' and reduce it to yo.

    Oh my Gott.
    I can't believe I can explain this. Japanese is insane. I also can't believe people could understand this stuff, let alone write it fluently.

    Now everyone has cell phones that have full text messaging support so there is little need for this method anymore. Though most people still remember it.

    While I am all for motivating people to come up with new poems and/or types of poetry, that is not what this contest does. Playing with not only language but with syntax, capitalizations, and even symbols has been around for awhile, just check out any good poetry mag or even (for a simpler version) go find an e.e. cummings anthology.

    Yay! Time for a rant. Divert your eyes if you are sensetive to ranting and raving.

    I am in a third year systems analyst course at an unnamed (*coughSheridancoughCollegecough*) Canadian College. I don't expect my classmates to be brilliant computer wonders who eat design and shit code. However, I am at a loss to describe the level of illeteracy in our entire group. With a few exceptions, the average person in our class has a literacy level of about grade 9. It's disgusting to think that we will graduate in December and these people can barely read and write english (let alone program, document, or design solutions). The college is very well respected for it's animation and illustration departments (Disney and ILM take most of our anim/illus grads) and has a decent reputation for it's computer schools. What I fear is that my class will get out into the workforce and, for all intensive purposes, smear the name of the College and destroy anything my diploma will stand for.

    The Slashdot crowd would enjoy some of the phrases these people have come up with in a recent report. It makes the "all your base are belong to us" look like Shakespiere in comparison. I'm not great at english (lord knows I can barely spell at times) and I don't really expect that. But they have no ideas, no opinions, no ambition, no goals, no desire, and possess nothing to offer the IT industry.

    Worse yet, I see and hear everyday that I am not alone - schools across the country are experiencing the exact same thing. People are coming into "computer techology / IT" courses simply because they are told they will be successful. We now have the illeterate drop-out Bill Gates wannabe's - minus the business savvy and intelligence.

    Being a systems analyst is all about communication - the ability to design and document new systems. I fear that the majority of people in my course do not possess anything close to this and should have left a long time ago.

    I've tried working with them. I've tried helping them. I've tried pushing them. I've tried encouraging them. Nothing works.

    Worse yet is that I am forced to do projects with them. I want to be proud of my submissions and I end up doing all of the work - including their work would be equivlant to smearing fecal matter over my work. I'm not perfect - I am trying to learn. These people, however, are only here for the money and it's pissing me off.

    See? I warned you. ;-)

  • You're right. I never said I was perfect and I know I make a lot of mistakes. I'll quote some of their work for your amusement.

    "There is a risk that people will choose other companies over our company that's why it is important to advertise our corporation the best way we can to attract businessees or individual to us."

    "If we want to hire a person for programmer position then minimum qualification would be Diploma or Degree and minimum of 6 months experience in the relative field."

    "The key people within our business are basically the four co-owners of the business."

    "Our products will primarily be produced within Software Solutions building. Packaging is as simple as placing the CD in a box with the appropriate documentation contained." [note: this one REALLY gets me because they NEVER explain who creates the documentation or the software. Our fictional company would develop software and documentation internally and sell that to clients.]

    I had to re-write a 40 page report in less than a day - including researching potential competition, market trends, costs, etc. Even worse, it took them 4 weeks to write that bullshit (and there is A LOT more where that comes from).

  • If we want to get technical about it, (2b | !2b) would always be equivilant to true, as 2b is either true or false, and if it's false, then its opposite is true. So the whole thing simplifies to True (or '1').

    Perhaps a more accurate way to convey Hamlets intent is:

    switch $2b
    case true: (blahblah from speech)
    case flase: (blahblah from speech)

    "I believe it's actually supposed to be '2b || !2b"

    Actually, 2b | !2b is more accurate. '||' denotes a short-circuit 'or' which means that if 2b is true, it won't examine !2b for validity.

    I believe that Hamlet's strife is that he saw the merits in both possibilities, and so an accurate representation would necessitate him evaluating both 2b and !2b before reaching a conclusion.

  • I find predictive text input very handy indeed, and very fast too - I get about 20 wpm which, while slow compared to typing on a normal qwerty keyboard (about a quarter my normal typing speed) is still much much faster than the traditional phone text input. I can write a full-length 160-character text message in about 2 minutes, and need not use confusing abbreviations. It even gets the sentence capitalisation right automatically. :)

    Admittedly, it does take a bit of getting used to - it took me about 10 messages before I really got the hang of it, but then... how long did it take you to learn to type efficiently?

    One other thing to watch out for is the specific implementation of predictive text input - I find the Motorola version substantially better than the implementation on Nokias, as it provides a list of its best predictions in a line at the bottom of the screen that can be selected using the left/right or up/down keys, and it also automatically learns new words rather than having to manually add them to the dictionary.

That's one of the problems with English, we use "or" in speech to two different things.
  • Here are some handy ways to abbreviate things. ! = not, duh. + = most, max, plus, very, etc. - = least, min, minus, etc. = more @ = at. d = the e = he # = number ^ = carrot & = and ~ = tilde ? = huh, question, etc. \. = slashdot | = pipe for hard words remove vowels and double consonants and such. [] = box : = colon ; = prefix semi like ;cndctr = semiconductor x = no g = GEE! o = oh p = pee $ = money 2 = to, too 8 = ate 6 = sex Use acronyms as much as possible.

    We go ahead and minimize the whole English language? We've already got /., and everyone likes perl.
    A few suggestions:
    spm = spam
    fstp = first post (fp is taken - "floating point")
    ayb1 = All your base are belong to us.
    $M = Microsoft is a horrible, money grabbing useless institution.
    L! = Linux is a wonderful, beutiful thing.
    CTO = Commander Taco
    Hemos = well...its already pretty short.
    ILB = I like beans.
    YCUAL = you can't have any until later
    HN/DTA = Have some now, but don't tell anyone

    We could also use verbs as operands...
    For example - kills = k
    kL!$M - Linux, the wonderful, beautiful thing kills Microsoft the horrible, money grabbing institution.

    Of course, we could, I don't know...just zip it up and unzip it? Its not like zip is a difficult protocol to implement on a palm...
