Link: I h8 txt msgs: How texting is wrecking our language | the Daily Mail

It must be a slow news day over at the Daily Mail. With no apparent stories of immigrants stealing our jobs, paedophiles ravaging our kids or any other general threat to the pretend ‘la la land’ middle England readership that the Daily Mail purports to represent, they’ve decided to lay into text messaging.

It is the relentless onward march of the texters, the SMS (Short Message Service) vandals who are doing to our language what Genghis Khan did to his neighbours eight hundred years ago.

They are destroying it: pillaging our punctuation; savaging our sentences; raping our vocabulary. And they must be stopped.

Right.. I’d imagine Genghis Khan would be a little peeved to have his plundering and pillaging antics compared to someone asking if you fancy a pint later (or should that be l8r?)

PS: I expect someone will buy me this t-shirt after my little rant 🙂
