... that SMS speek is intended for point-to-point communication - one sender, one recipient. The sender makes writing the message slightly easier The point is that SMS-speak is for use on a telephone keypad - where you have only 12 keys available! Trying to type proper words in full on such a keypad is very laborious indeed, almost to the point of being unworkable! So, in that case, "SMS-Speak" doesn't just make it "slightly" easier for the sender - it makes it very much easier indeed! In that case, the diifficulty in understanding the message is acceptable in consideration of the extreme difficulty of creating it. However, in the case of a forum like this, we assume that people are creating messages using a full keyboard (if you're not, then just say so) - so there is no excuse; SMS in this case is pure laziness! |
