Re: Crikey!

To quote from the article "Mobile phones no longer used for calls":

"A lot of this is down to the wider adoption of text messaging for communications - once the preserve of the youth, people of all ages are now learning to abuse the English language in pursuit of squeezing meaning into 160 characters."

I am going to whine about people's abuse of our written language. Is it really so difficult to capitalize a word at the beginning each sentence? Does putting a number in the middle of a word really save any 1 any amount of time? Is it not easier to just spell words correctly, as we had originally learned to do in our formative years?
