That could actually be useful; I'm picturing a contest in which you are given text that MS has "corrected" and figure out what it's supposed to say.

Not likely.

But seriously, I see TXT-ing bees becoming more of a thing-- kid gets handed a message (in plain English) and a cell phone, and timed on how quickly he can pass the message to the judge's cell. Each round sees a longer and more complex message. Accuracy counts.


Where, oh where did you get that avatar from? Priceless!

That's a bit of a scary concept.

And, thanks! I got it from [livejournal.com profile] debgeisler, but it seems to have a long and convoluted history... no idea who made it.

It's just a matter of time: think of how hard the French are struggling to prevent cognates from creeping into their language, and they go so far as to legislate that kind of thing.

You and I came home from school each quarter with a piece of paper, saying how well we did. Parents these days just log onto the school's website.

Time marches on.

That doesn't mean they're going to turn that into a competitive skill.
