IF. . . U. . . do no ndrstnd dis sntns u nd 2 lern txt.lingo. If you do comprehend, you are obviously already in possession of a full understanding of the mysteries of text-speak and need read no further.

For the rest of us, perhaps those of a more mature persuasion, there is Glasgow's Strathclyde University and that institution's attempt to rescue us from the darkness of Earth B.T. - the world Before Text.


Mobile phone users of a certain age are queuing up to join university seminars that unlock the world of texting.


Such has been the demand that the courses are now a featured part of the university's remit.


Lasting for two hours and costing a mere £3, Strathclyde University's Lifelong Learning Centre is already oversubscribed for the classes, which begin on 1 September.

Actually, it's smart. Similar to need for morse code back around the turn of the century. This will probably be a temporary "language". Voice recognition will take over in the future as microprocessors in portable devices speed up, and "txt" will go the way of morse code.

Morse code (CW) is still alive and kicking. I had to learn it to get my "Extra" class Amateur Radio license. If you listen to the ham bands between 1.8 and 29MHz, you will hear LOTS of it. Typical morse operation does include lots of abbreviations like this "txt".

Morse code (CW) is still alive Yeah, but it's more like a special interest or hobby.
