“Text Messaging”

Your students, and your children, speak a new language….…it’s called “Text Messaging”. For many of us it

是完全不可理解的，但它节省了他们的时间，因为他们试图发送快速消息 using the tiny key pads on their cell phones. I haven’t ventured into text messaging since I CRS (can’t remember stuff) as easily I could years ago and TSNF (that’s so not fair!). If we want to understand this generation PLU (people like us) should know something about their “culture”. Here is a link to a Text Messaging Dictionary, maybe you will find it useful.

我可能会试着自己学一点，只要我能找到短信 button on my phone.
