I've no reason to text. I don't mind that texting exists. Hate it to become the general mode of communication, because of what I see as rather gross communicating function. So, I picked No.

I was serious. There is an SMS translator at http://lingo2word.com/translate.php

I think I'm gonna translate all my A2K posts using it. Join the dark side.

This is what it does to the above:

I don't answer to text messages and I don't send them either.
My child is not (yet) allowed to text message, and I mourn the day,
she'll start.

That's what I was going to say. Well, with a slight variation -- if my kid wants to talk to me via text messaging, she can make her meaning plain.

I don't necessarily begrudge the "secret language" aspect of it -- kids can talk to each other that way, I don't care. That's always been the point (making adults furrow their brows and say "huh...???") If we old fogeys master txtspk, they'll come up with something else.

Weirdly, I was at the very forefront of text abbreviations and stuff btw, with tty's (teletypewriters/ telephone devices for the deaf). I'm talking late 80's. I remember teaching an ASL class in the early 90's in which I provided a list of commonly used tty abbreviations (and emoticons, before there was such a word) and everyone thought it was so funny. Now most of those are standard. (See "btw," above.)

(I started using ttys in the late 80's, but they've been around for a lot longer than that.)
