Weird me

Intended Draft post 1600 IST 30-OCT-2009:

How z every1… LTNS… IMHO UROK … did ya get what I am trying to say … ROFTL … I have been coming across lot of these now a days thanks to twitter. Couple of days back saw a debate of school children and teachers discussing “sms” English on a TV channel. It was quite a healthy debate with lots of good points made from either side, but the question that popped in my mind is whats wrong with it ?

The latest edition of Oxford’s English Dictionary carries about 1,000,000 words in it. An average Indian knows about 650 words, an average “Englishman” would go around 1500.  So whats the use of so many ? Isn’t coding sentences into words and decoding them a sign of intelligence ! Isn’t it something like working smart instead of working hard, u can write faster while using lesser characters. Yes u lose the “literature” in it, but does someone care for it now a days… blah blah blah

What remains at 1800 hrs IST 30-OCT-2009:

What, who doesn’t appreciate literature ? Oh so I don’t … thats why I make sure to visit at least one book store every week and spend around 2 hours hunting for books worth a read Thats why I am looking for a dictionary app to install on my phone so I could improve my poor vocab. After all language is not just a medium of communicating, its also the only way of expressing your mind … guess twitter subsided my love for English language, better I scrap this post
