SMS language also referred to as text language.
Get one of those iphones you can speak into and it will type your message for you. Ask it a question, it will give you an answer . Amazing stuff now, and add on 'apps'. Well that's another mystery ! Personally I don't understand any of it, and neither do I wish to, but that's the future. No need for Dictaphone , speedwriting or typewriters any longer.
Remember the introduction of the electric typewriter ? They went like the clappers after those cast iron things.
Comptometers were another thing. They worked , but what a noise !
