"text message" or even worse "texting"

this right here is a text message. It is a message in TEXT. So is a letter.
The correct term for the mobile phone thing is "SMS" which stands for short message service.
"Send me a text" aarrgghhhhhh

more?

And its aych for the letter 'h' not haych.
And what about the letter 'z'? Is it zee or zed?

"Un-Australian"

And a joke for toadwhispera:

A new Middle East crisis erupted last night as Dubai Television was refused permission to broadcast 'The Flintstones'.

A spokesman for the channel said 'A claim was made that people in Dubai would not understand the humour, but we have heard that people in Abu Dhabi Do"

www. It's short for world wide web. Why do people say it as "double u double u double u ."? It's actually shorter (less syllables) to say "world wide web." I just say "www." (as in w, not double u")
does that make sense?

Mmmm, I think "text" is the more general term, and SMS is the more technical one. In New Zealand they only use "text"...
... what am I saying?!


- I hate people that say "somethink".

- Or like people that like, you know, talk like this. You know?

When we could first send SMS's about 10-12yrs ago I only ever heard the term SMS. Was not till about 5-6 yrs ago I first heard 'text' . ?

I forgot my others.

- Lugzuurious (why can't TV advertisers seem to say luXurious??)

- Arkansas vs Kansas WTF is with that?

- "I SO like that..."

brung!!!

That's the sound an old phone makes, not what you've 'brought' with you!!!

And as mentioned, finishing with 'ink' "I saw somethink?!?"

or

"nuthink, it don't matter now anyways" (actually that sentence screams 'shoot me now', before I reverse millions of years of evolution!!!)

I was thinking that none of this sh1t bothers me,or any thing else that people say.

But then I remembered something that REALLY sh1ts me!

The girl on the radio reading the news and weather,no doubt being paid well to talk well,then comes out with "TWENNY degrees. Twenny five tomorrow"

Oh man, forgot that one. Grrrr.

How about "Can I lend $10?", when they want to borrow $10 and vice versa?

How about just asking "can I have $10" then I don't have to get the ****s with you when you don't pay it back.

Anyway, on radio stations. I hate how they will include words in the title of the station EG "This is the FM 104cast" when about to talk about the weather.

Reporters, if one more reporter says something witty like "the rain did nothing to dampen the crowds enthusasim". I mean, yes we get it, rain, dampen, your a bloody comedian just like the 1000 other reporters that have said exactly the same thing.

Your vs You're
It's vs its
To vs Too

and anywhere F is used in place of Th - Anyfink, fanks and so on.
