On those things, it *is* work! Even I've started giving up on proper 
grammar/capitalization/punctuation/spelling when texting (Not my normal 
comms choice, but I have a couple siblings that are of "everything must 
be in SMS form" age).

Oh well, at least we're not still entering text on number pads. I used 
to work on a WAP/WPL site (anyone remember those? anyone even *used* 
those? ;) ) Entering text was bad enough, but entering test-server URLs? 
Ugh. I never understood why the last Smash Bros game copied that cell 
phone text interface *intentionally*.
