[OOC translation for people who don't hate themselves:

was looking up information about new spellings used in text communication on phones and computers etc. and most of what I found was fucking whinging about kids today being lazy and not knowing how to spell properly as if this were a modern fucking invention

there are differences and new things have been done with them that we didn't do much in the past with our telegraphs for example the numbers especially are clever

information, forewarned, today

but the idea was certainly not invented by 21st century children so pay respect to your elders who were far better at being incomprehensible than your kids today

when I get tired of my tiny telephone keyboard I'm going to write all my texts like this ]

seems like it's for the better. stars knows how many messages i'd completely kriff up if this is the language used.

[devoutish]

But odds are you'd kriff them up in entertaining ways. People here find that funny. They've got websites dedicated to it.

[kestreldawn]

stars, is that what we've been devolved to? how disappointing.

[devoutish]

You're from another planet entirely, aren't you? Not likely you've been devolved to much of anything.

[kestreldawn]

another galaxy, actually. yes.

but who knows? that's what could be in my future, the longer i stay here.

[devoutish]

o du u rly tnk so

[kestreldawn]

........

i suddenly loathe you and this conversation with a renewed sense of purpose and passion.

[kestreldawn]

you lost me at tts a sm.

[devoutish]

that's a shame

[kestreldawn]

i feel like shame would be shm. otherwise, it could be 'some.' or 'same.'

[devoutish]

With sh and th, we usually leave out the h. You tell by context. There's all sorts that are easy to mix up without it.
