Many lament the speedy death of the Queen's English with the advent of text messaging abbreviations. LOL.
As it turns out, teenagers weren't the first of humankind to filter a language down to it's essential ingredients. The Hebrew language of the Old Testament as it was originally written didn't have any vowels - just consonants. They pronounced vowels as they spoke the words, they just didn't waste time writing them down. It might sound a bit strange but it's kind of like in English we could begin Genesis with "N TH BEGNNG".
There's a moral to this story: Moore College should accept instant messaging abbreviations in written exams. I'm just being biblical.
