Text-speak

So many times we see in texts (or possibly in tweet)

A cavalcade of letters which for readers’ eyes compete.

Which saves a keystroke here or there, if anyone complains;

The higher tech the gadget, seems, the lower tech our brains.

It’s time we shelve such silly tricks and bid them all adieu;

I’m weary of this cutesy trend and bet that UR2!
