SMS Lingo

[brokenheart]

Heya! Howz u?hope u r f9. n kp smilin, tc.

How often do you find people exchanging pleasantries in this manner?

whether it's all right to converse in the so-called "SMS lingo" ..??

Wats ur take...??

 

[Ethan_Hunt]

Hate that talk to the core.I was once a victim of it but then soon recovered to normal mode of conversations.Over the internet it becomes very difficult sometimes to get them.On the mobile phone I can still adjust a bit.It's best to type it out normally.

i believe T9 is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Frankly speaking I detest people that can't be bothered to type out actual words. and despise people that use words like pl0x and LOL in real life.
Just my take

 

[dheeraj_kumar]

I hate people who type like:

hey cn we pla cs nw.. rep fast im host

Those who cant even say "please" are not worth helping.

 

[ring_wraith]

I personally avoid using abbreviations where-ever possible. The only place I consider it okay to use them is where they actually add to the overall theme of something I'm saying.

When it comes to mobiles, the only time I switch off T9 is when.. well... er.. ummm..

The problem with typing an SMS is that you can type as fast as you can type on a keyboard. When I want to type an urgent message, I shall not bother about full forms or abbreviations.

 

[ring_wraith]

Typing with "full forms" takes less time than using SMS Lingo, provided you know how to use T9 efficiently.

P.S. Abbreviations = short forms.

Very true....... using dictionary service we can actually type much faster than those people who type this kind of lingo

 

[abhi.eternal]

sometimes i think 'ppl' do it due to time constraints or the length of characters allowed per message... or may be because they are habituated!!... anyways.. i hate messaging and my call rates are cheaper than SMS rates!!

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

i don't follow that sms lingo
if some one messages that way... just try to read it that's all

all phones now have advanced T9...

 

[karmanya]

Whats even worse than messaging, is when people use numbers and text to speak in MMORPG's. I can count on one hand the number of times I "healed" someone who typed pl0x instead of "please"

 

[prasad_den]

I never use SMS lingo for typing out words, be it in my mobile or PC.. GEnerally, it irritates me when people use this format, especially online - more so because sometimes I just don't understand some words.

@karmanya

Just curious, what mmorpg do you play?

 

[iMav]

some guy once asked me are u ol? and i replied no and he said you are ol if u replied, i was like WTF! i asked him what is ol he said online

 

[PcEnthu]

SMS lingo is absolutely mandatory for SMS because of the space constraints, especially when someone sends SMS from the internet to mobile

 

[legolas]

I have never and will never use those "lingos" to convey my message. I would rather use Morse code

 

[eggman]

Except when space constraint is on my mind, I avoid the lingos.....if you know how to use T9 efficiently then typing sms will take much less time and effort than usual
