Be Efficient w/ Dz crAZ lNgwij bT it obVuslE works

Our way of communitication is totally inefficient and outdated according to Clement Gallet’s Manifeste “for the extenstion of SMS slang to all the media.”

SMS slNg must B D onlE wA 2 XprS oursLvz

In this grammar book a set of rules is provided to reduce the amount of characters in any kind of communication and points out neat ways of shortcutting b/c time=$. The book’s recommendation is that “SMS slNg must B D onlE wA 2 XprS oursLvz” & announces that “ritN eng iz ded“.

You now probably think that there must be an error in the blogging software, Philipp wouldn’t mess with typos and besides, the post title is messed up too. BUT, today, I made an exemption, because you little wise Sherlocks out there, couldn’t help but keep thinking about what this could mean. Here’s the solution. With this crazy language but it obviously works (w/ Dz crAZ lNgwij bT it obVuslE works).

Now, if you happen to be lost and not able to follow at all. The capital letters are pronounced like the letters. For example. crAZ is “crazy” since the A is prounced like Ahhhh and the z as in Zee. Uncapitalized are pronounced like any other letter depending on the the letter before and after, just like in common English. Also already established abbreviations are used, for example “eng” for English.

Check out clementgallet.com for more efficient SMS slang lessons and flip through the book SMS lNgwij mNEfSt.

(Now are you planning on this way of communication? Does it make sense to you? To me it does to a certain degree as you can see, however, is it the evolution they are pretending it is?)

Two final thoughts. Might be useful for twitter updates. And last but not least, I can’t think of a wA Dz wut B pozEbl in de.

    [...] instead of full words and sentences is more efficient.  Which is important these days, as he so eloquently puts it, “b/c time=$”.  And since the old art of shorthand seems to be dead or dying for all [...]

    I honestly think that this is a fun approach. I wouldn’t want Dz 2 B Usd N comn lNgwij, but I thought it would be worth dedicating one single entry. :)
