(mistaking the about for 'txt-speke')
The great thing about txt-speke (or whatever that mangled language that
texters use) is that finally after many years of being lectured to
about English usage by my mum, I finally get to lecture her :)
Funny thing is that I remember a report (no idea of the source) saying
that txters do finally grow up and start using correct English in the
appropriate places.
