SMS - English

When a 13-year-old Scottish girl handed in a text written in text message shorthand, she explained to her flabbergasted teacher that it was easier than standard English.

She wrote:
"My smmr hols wr CWOT. B4, we used 2go2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & thr 3 :- kids FTF. ILNY, it's a gr8 plc."

In translation:
"My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New York. It's a great place.")

The girl's teacher was not impressed and said: "I could not believe what I was seeing. The page was riddled with hieroglyphics, many of which I simply could not translate."
