Texting: The "gr8 db8"

A new book is the first to seriously take on the issue of texting. Is texting about "laziness" and "bad spelling" as many parents would have it, or does it have its own place in the world of literacy?

This linguist's take on texting features cartoons and lists of abbreviations. It claims to be not only entertaining and instructive, but also "fascinating for everyone interested in what's currently happening to language and communication."
