There is a purpose behind each activity. This is a public mailing list & the audience is varied. The so called 'SMS Lingo' unnecessarily requires a level of concentration for decoding which not only wastes precious time but has other side effects such as poor search indexing. There is a huge difference in sending a 160 character SMS in which a single word can be abbreviated differently even by the same user, let alone others who use their own protocols. The first principle of communication is that the language being used shall be understood by the parties interacting, otherwise there's no communication at all. I am not sure what good intention you may have trying to rewrite the rules & hiding behind the colonial and the slave mentality concept. The reply I had sent was in light humor. I didn't mean to offend, & as I did I'm sorry for that. I think I'll be a bit more careful in future.
