It took me considerably longer to read and understand his post than it would have without the SMS. English is my first language, I read it quickly without having to think about the meaning of the words. When it is riddled with SMS, however, I frequently have to stop and mentally translate the abbreviations before I can make sense of it. If English were not my first language I doubt I'd be able to make sense of it at all. Perhaps that's the flaw in my thinking. I assume that since I can scan through it at the same rate as standard English, then everyone else can as well. Also, I think the claim about non-native English speakers having more difficulty with SMS abbreviations is dubious. I would wager that swapna has a high probability of falling into that category himself (based solely on his name), but he seems to find it easier. My guess is that as internet and other forms of text based communications between continents become commonplace, these abbreviations will become a part of the worldwide English that people use. Think of it as a sort of Esperanto for people who don't want to wear out their thumbs using their blackberry. :) Of course. The essential difference, though, is that grammatical errors are unintentional, whereas use of SMS is a conscious decision. That is why nobody wastes time correcting them. You'll notice that some posters don't have a very good grasp of English - nobody criticises them either. In fact, I make a lot of effort to try to understand broken English. I'm not sure this sort of unintentional mistake is somehow more benign. For isntance, plenty of people don't know the appropriate situations to use your or you're. They never learned it, and they just choose whichever they like when they feel like it. Someone who KNOWS that they don't know it well enough, however, might just use "ur" in both situations knowing that they'll be conveying their intent clearly enough in either case. I guess I just find the former more irritating. "To each his own" I suppose.

As such, my assertion is that we should just let them BOTH go rather than cluttering up threads with reprobation about someone's style of writing. (Or, for that matter, cluttering up the thread like I have with a debate :)
i was just going through this enitre thread for some information i needed, but i quite enjoyed the literal debate. i never once thought that entering your queries into this forum required a literature degree. do you guys mean that language is more important than the intelligence sharing? so long as the communication is effective i do not think that there should be any debate over superiority of Asian, American or British English. personally i appreciate people like Jay Daniel who have understood the actual purpose of this thread without getting lost in the language debate. i guess i found valuable information only in his message. thanks a lot.
" was just going through this enitre thread for some information i needed, but i quite enjoyed the literal debate." It's a pity, then, that you seem to have missed the point of it. "i never once thought that entering your queries into this forum required a literature degree" It doesn't. "do you guys mean that language is more important than the intelligence sharing" No. Sharing knowledge is the purpose of this forum. The debate is whether that sharing of knowledge is facilitated by the inclusion of SMS abbreviations. "so long as the communication is effective..." Quite. "... i do not think that there should be any debate over superiority of Asian, American or British English." There hasn't been. The debate has been about SMS abbreviations. You did read the thread, didn't you? "personally i appreciate people like Jay Daniel who have understood the actual purpose of this thread without getting lost in the language debate. i guess i found valuable information only in his message. thanks a lot." I think you found what you wanted to find in this thread rather than what was actually there.
I never once thought that entering your queries into this forum required a literature degree. do you guys mean that language is more important than the intelligence sharing? so long as the communication is effective There is no need for a "literature degree" all that is asked is "your best effort". If you consider "I save 2 seconds by using SMS, the hell with the reader" you best effort, be sure you are in a minority. language is more important than the intelligence sharing You screwed that quote up royally, the correct statement is "clear, unambigous language is required for intelligence sharing" so long as the communication is effective How can spending the effort on understanding the words, rather than the sentecnce be "effective communication" Erik
