Texting from your Cellphone, Translated

I do know there are other places where you can find this information, but I just wanted to share with you, something that I've received a few days ago from my cellphone service provider. Many people -younger than older, are using text messaging as the quickest and efficient way to communicate. Your son won't pick the phone to answer if he/she realized is a mom who's calling to say something, or to curfew him up. Yet this can be easily solved if they pick their cellphones just to discover mom again wants to know about her date, verbigracie. Her mom might send something like 'king or frog' and that will be enough to think what she's into. Daughter can answer back 'king' and nobody has to feel embarrassed or justify why mom has to be calling at this time! Here's the guide: Basic: YT? -Are you there? < bs > -Big smile 4E - Forever F2F - face-to-face GR8 -Great LMK -Let me know N2K - Need to know U@? -Where are you? Intermediate: DHYB - Don't hold your breath FFR - For future reference ILBL8 - I'll be late kThxBye -Okay, thanks. Goodbye! RB@U - Right back at you PTMM - Please, tell me more *vin -Starving SC$ - Success Advanced: B3 - Blah, blah, blah FTBOMH - From the bottom of my heart GD&R - Grinning, ducking and running HB2U -Happy Birthday to you TTYL -Talk to you later Y3 - Yadda, yadda, yadda MHOTY - My hat's off to you

Copyblogger 238 Commented Post. Misused Lingo

I We have not to explain the evident difference between a misused and a misspelled word. Bloggers more recognized as "monkey typewriters" do not work under the supervision of an expert as other media outlets do it, a quick look around the web reveals plenty of people is misusing words. Don't fret. Regular ones do, too, included journalists. Some of these words are common mistakes that can cost you when trying to keep a reader’s attention. Here's the Brian Clark suggestion of the 27 most misused words: Adverse / Averse Adverse means unfavorable. Averse means reluctant. Afterwards Afterwards is wrong in American English. It’s afterward. Complement / Compliment Complement is something that adds to or supplements something else. Compliment is something nice someone says about you. Criteria Criteria is plural, and the singular form is criterion. If someone tells you they have only one criteria, you can quickly interject and offer that it be they

How 'The Times' Strives to Polish Its Contents

Milton Ramirez
You all know how popular and read is The Times The following extract are part of When Spell-Check Can’t Help and adapted from After Deadline, a weekly newsroom critique overseen by Philip B. Corbett, the deputy news editor who is also in charge of The Times’s style manual. Since most writers and bloggers encounter similar troubles, Cogitate thinks these observations might interest all readers, too. The goal, however, is not to chastise, but to point out recurring problems and suggest solutions. "When we stumble over sound-alike words, readers accuse us of turning our editing chores over to a computer program (and not a very sophisticated one). [...] Here’s a reminder from The Times’s style book: reason (n). Both because and why are built into the meaning of reason. So avoid the reason is because and the reason why. Write The reason is that the mayor got more votes and She found out the reason the mayor won. Usually a phrase like reason why the decision was made can be short
