Gachetemas Yami no Hitokiri Some educators, like David Warlick, 54, of Raleigh, N.C., see the young burgeoning band of instant messengers as a phenomenon that should be celebrated. Teachers should credit their students with inventing a new language ideal for communicating in a high-tech world, said Warlick, who has authored three books on technology in the classroom. I would hesitate to even call it a language. Esperanto is an invented language. HTML is a language. Tolkien invented languages. I think a lot of what we call 'IM Speak' is really just jargon - which is not "ideal for communicating in a high-tech world." We need language that average, normal people can understand. Though, sometimes jargon gets enough use to become part of a language. So I'm not celebrating yet.
How is it a language? Even part of a language isn't the entire thing. I'm tempted to write an essay just for fun in either Elvish or HTML. Or both. xd It would be quite the interesting subject.
And just for the record, if being literate is considered 'nerdy', then I'm a proud nerd! When I first started my email account, I wrote it as a formal letter. Still do, usually. My teacher whom I was writing to even commented on how well I can write. Hah. I pity those 'txt-ers'.

Yami no Hitokiri That last guy really pissed me off. Typical PC liberal bullshit. No standards for right and wrong, good and bad, etc. If we keep celebrating all the different ways of typing, sooner or later we'll end up with the Tower of Babel. Haha! I love when people slam the mainstream liberal thinking! This is the liberal mindset: Do whatever feels right! If everybody is using "Txt Tlk", then we should all embrace it. What is right to one person may be different from what is right to another person, so everybody is right, so we wouldn't want to offend the jack asses who can't think for themselves and who don't realize that it is wrong to sit in trees and obstruct the rights of others. We can't say God, because somebody may not believe in God. Hey! Don't call him black, he has never been to Africa, but he is African-American. But him, he's white, you can call him that. (that is racism in the fact that I am white, he is black, but because he is what he is, we can't call him that. It is so condescending.)
I can't stand the mainstream America at times...
