Question:

Do you suppose Text Messaging will force English to evolve into?

something like ancient Egyptian? Instead of spelling words using letters to represent sounds, we are using letters and other symbols to represent entire morphemes. Some examples:

@
&
gr8
1derful
c u l8r
y

then we are able to get the meaning better through the use of emoticons rather than by using more precise vocabulary.
