Got in before Pierre, Roger! I've only got two points to make. The first is that the only reason that the majority of teenagers can type faster than the more "mature" members of the population is that, in the main, they make little or no effort to do it accurately. My second point is this: while "txt tlk" is probably all that is required for the vast majority of the so-called communication carried out via the medium of the portable cellular communication network, it is incapable of providing the precision and subtlety of nuance that is necessary to express any idea or opinion worth communicating in the first place. Could Pierre or BNS please check my grammar, punctuation and spelling? Neil |

Well done Neil. I agree whole heartedly, and well done on the spelling and grammar.

I think that is a bit of an unfair remark, just because someone communicates by text doesn't mean that whatever they have to say is worthless. |

I certainly agree with you there - but the use to txt spk does vastly limit the audience for the comments to a point that renders the communique pointless |

Personally i use the predictive text on the phone so my use of 'text speak' is minimal! Also having been brought up with my old man running an IT company I can touch type and I actually prefer to type fast and correctly...none of this 'txt spk'!
And im only 19  ( must be something wrong with me im sure...or should that read ... mst B sumin wrng wit me im sre)  |

or alternativly why not phone them up or go round and see them, as oppossed to sending texts non-stop and effectively taking more time than actually putting a call in. Not that text doesn't have its uses. 1, Pub 1930 2, Yes |

I'd take advantage of your dads private health scheme and see a doctor PDQ if you know what's good for you.
