    I refuse to use texting shorthand and abbreviations. When I text, you will get a full sentence from me, complete with punctuation and proper spelling. It's called integrity sonny.

    Please tell me this is a joke. A gag-product they put up on April 1st (a la ThinkGeek) and just forgot to take down.

    It's like the moronic cousin of that Mavis Beacon "game" they subjected us to in school...

    Excellent! 90% of kids age 12+ already communicate in broken textlish, so this is the perfect training tool for our young rising Illiterati.

    @Nathan Obbards: Ive never used textlish on a graded assignment, but I regularly use it (or rather a hybrid textlish/AIM) as a form of shorthand in notes and drafts. And I had a calculus prof. who gave lectures which often included textlish. Its nothing more than a form of shorthand, and as far as I'm concerned not unwelcome in a collegiate environment, as long as the context is appropriate.

    @eagles3 speeeedin: I have no problem with it if you use it in notes. However, presentations, papers, and exams should be written without them. I haven't seen it yet on a good exam, but other TAs have taken points off for using it in an essay exam. The ones I have seen all deserved bad grades anyways, so why punish them more.

    @Segador: I had a teacher claim that some poor, stupid, stupid, girl used textish during a speech in a college course.

    In one hand I wish it weren't true, but on the other hand I hope her humiliation brought tears to her eyes.

    What are you talking about? This game looks amazing. Now all they need is to make this game for the Wii, so we can play by strapping the Wii mote to a real table.

    For someone who had that much money, it sure looks all beat up and uncared for. Water stains on the ceiling, stains on the carpeting, the edges of the walls seem to be disintegrating... probably smells moldy down there too. There are a few cool things, but for the most part it looks like a bunch of junk.
