I don't get it

Member PostsDumper-ed again, well and proper. SMS again but this time with a twist.

Righto, after a week of not hearing from one another, S decided it was time to move on and began SMS-ing me her intentions ...

You know you wanna see them:

Ive had enough of u making no effort with me & I gave u a 2nd chance. U dont deserve me. Neva ring/speak 2 me agen

It goes on and you get the idea.

So, how is this different from normal?

How about fifth grade grammar?

You want to dump me? Fine. The only thing I ask is do it in the Queen's english (our national language).

I am just getting my head around this whole talking to people via SMS thing (not especailly quick on the uptake), so is this degeneration of coherent sentence structure and proper English a symptom of people using this messaging system? Or is it a learned behaviour?

Left me feeling kinda numb and NOW I'm really worried about my exam tomorrow!! HURRAH!!

I don't know the full story, but know a little... I'd just like to say this:

  • Doing anything like this via SMS is just plain wrong. Thankfully this has never been done to me, that I recall
  • The language you speak of, yeah... shits me too. It's either people not being able to spell, or being lazy. No phone out there these days doesn't have a T9 dictionary in it, so I don't get the laziness.

Perhaps just a bad cookie eh? Move along, nothing to see here...
