SMS language (also known as chatspeak, txt, txtspk, texting language or txt talk) is the English language slang used in mobile phone SMS. It is an abbreviated form of English similar to a rebus.
SMS has evolved from the shorthand use in Internet chatrooms to accommodate the small number of characters allowed and as a convenient language for the small keyboards on mobile phones.
Punctuation and grammar are largely ignored.
Here are some examples:
sorry = sry or soz
