I've noticed as of late Koreans using abbreviations beyond necessity... it's getting rediculous, they are abbreviating EVERYTHING... sometimes it's hard not to interrupt a conversation and ask what these 'words' mean... a definite by-product of txt/im messaging..]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/29/in-south-korea-email-is-for-old-people/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/29/in-south-korea-email-is-for-old-people/

It shouldn't be. I take the time to write complete sentances and words, for the most part. It only takes, what, another 30 seconds to write out a complete sentance that tells whoever you're talking to that you care enough not to degrade into bouts of "OMG HI2U A/S/L?1?!!!?!" and other such. The world isn't going to change in 30 seconds. Show some bloody respect.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/29/in-south-korea-email-is-for-old-people/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/29/in-south-korea-email-is-for-old-people/Dec 19th 2005 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/29/in-south-korea-email-is-for-old-people/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/29/in-south-korea-email-is-for-old-people/
now what they need to come up with next is something that's like voice SMS, except you can talk back to the other person, and it's in realtime. that would be really cool.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:07AM
