The Internet SMS Literacy Test
Shorthand Shunner
Well, well... it looks like you got most of the questions on the test wrong. But you know what? I'm going to assume that it's because you don't like using the various bastardisations of the English language that are prevalent in SMS and online.
If you do use chat programs, there's a high chance you type in full sentences (or at least spell your words properly). When you're sending an SMS to your friends, you probably don't shorten the messages - and if it costs a bit more to send a longer text message, so what? At least you can be understood. Guess where I fit? Yep. The only reason I know most of these bits of Internet-speak is because I researched them for this test. Anyway, thanks for being nice to the English language, as I'm sure you are!
Why not do another of my tests? They're very good. Honest.
