Please search the forums for Big K's guide to rapid typing . SMS text won't be useful in your professional life, so get used to not using it.

[At least on CE Forums ]

okhey let me tell you a human tendency.As we all are advancing technically(imean few guys doing all good discoveries and inventions for major population)..
we the other major population in the meantime is getting lazier.we dont want to do a single job that doesnt yeild a benefit. so what we want is to just sit around and get tired relaxing..

so this so called"sms text language" is a birth of this human phycology.

so the point is why get lazy by doing shorthand afterall you dont have to do the effort of lifting a pen and creating strokes.so guys its just few kep presses dont be a Sloth by allowing it!

wt u tink dude!

SMS lingo was started since early mobile phone didnt supported more 100 words or so(tats an approximation),even paging has such limitations,then we gave birth to SMS lingo,and it became a habit,it must be avoided as it spoils are our command over written english....SMS lingo shud be avoided

IMHO, Use of SMS text should be discouraged, reason being a ) it may not be understood by everyone worldwide b) it doesnot give a profesional touch.

Right said. CE is read by engineers from over 150 countries. Our members are students, professors, experienced professionals, entrepreneurs, CEOs etc. Not everyone appreciates SMS text.

I believe SMS should be restricted to cell phones.

It may be but it is not good. Human being is always looking for shortcuts. This is harmful in the long run.

Well, if you can learn to type faster (like I do), you don't have to waste time figuring out shortcuts for each English word. For example, I find it very easy to type "great" than "gr8".
