The whole "kids need mobile phones" thing is bull anyway. The government should legislate a minimum age for cell phone use.....42 should suffice.

21st century shorthand?
On my old mobile I used to substitute numbers for a word, eg 2 for too, two or to, but my new phone won't do that without changing the input to numbers. That was my contribution to txt speak .. lol oops "text" speak ;D

The kids moan about using formal text but who cares my phone my finger lol I wondered about that ... kids complaining because I like proper English  I refuse to write kwl for cool, and fankies for thanks so I probably should be banned from cell phone use if teenagers ruled the world ... or do they anyway  |

I wonder why they don't write "ta" for thanks .. it's shorter and isn't that what it's all about, shortening words?
