i don mind receiving sms

 

i hate to send sms

 

i wish there is a program to convert speech to sms

 

90% of my sent sms are saved as templates as follows:

 

1) pls call me

2) i am here

3) i am coming now

i used to hate SMS..simply because it's v diff to bring the point across..

 

but after army, i saw the importance of covering backside..therefore, now impt stuff i try to SMS so as to keep record in case people play punk with me, i can whack back..

 

so, now i am using a phone with qwerty keyboard..making typing sms so much easier, and i have unlimited sms.. [thumbsup]

lai..this is called EDMW english..somehow it has become the mainstream electronic spelling for teens nowadays..let me translate to you..

 

"moi ish on moi way riao. sowwy eveybutties who ish waitng for moi. chui noe i don rike to rush de."

 

Direct translation: Me is on my way liao. sorry everybody who is waiting for me. You know i don't like to rush 'de'

 

Proper English: I am on my way already. Apologies to everyone who is waiting. I don't like to rush, you know

 

The most important thing in communication is that the message must get across. In this case, there is obvious comm breakdown.

 

On top of that,

- is vs. ish

- chui vs. U

- moi vs. me/I

- everybutties vs. everybody

 

spelling them the right way is shorter and as a result, faster. I don't understand why they want to communicate like that. <_<:wacko:

I reckon this trend has been around for ages, except that the language used is evolving. In my era, some convent gers i know were using a language known as "F" language I think, or something close to that. They replace each vowel with F and pronounce them accordingly, this is my guess only hor....

The point is to talk among themselves and keep us boys totally in stupor. Sorry, I have yet to decipher it until this day... One of the minor things that I might die regretfully for not able to understand...hahahaha
