From Craigslist NY

I know I'm old school, but if you are trying to sell something, wouldn't it make sense to try spell-check or something? And put important stuff (mileage, year etc.) in ad?

Drives me nuts.

It almost sounds like Newspeak (from Orwell's 1984).

Do you find a lot of kids using "txtspeak" in their written conversations or forum postings? Here, its a huge phenomenon whereby kids text each other on their cell phones (mobile phones). In doing so, and because text messages are limited to a certain amount of characters, a whole new language of abbreviations has sprung up. eg "hey,how u doing 2day.Im gr8 tnx".
A lot of forums here abhor txtspeak and will ban persistent users. Just wondering if its as prevalent in the US?

Dats kul, jus wondrin..tnx 4ur msg

It seems, according to certain media reports that Ireland has the highest per head usage of text messages outside of Japan, and at a cost,on average, of 11c (EURO cent, that is) per text its a hugely profitable area for the phone networks.
