Cellphone mini-keyboards = no more txt spk?

chat lingo


Unless they start issuing Treos to schoolkids we're pretty sure that we'll be stuck with all that vaguely incomprehensible "txt spk" shorthand for at least the immediate future, but Larry Garfield over at infoSync hopes that the rise of the mini-keyboard spells (pun intended) a resurgence for people using proper grammar and punctuation in text messages, since you'll have no reason to be lazy and cut corners. Doesn't quite address the fact that plenty of people using instant messenger applications on their PC employ sloppy spelling and poor grammar, but we understand what he's getting at.
