Wi teengrs wd mk gd shrthnd rtrs...

Or, Why teenagers would make good shorthand writers...

It occurs to me (as things occasionally do) that the arts of texting and Teeline shorthand are similar. Both require spelling of words phonetically, or dropping vowels. 'Would' sounds like 'wud', and in Teeline shorthand you drop the vowel and simply write two joined symbols for the letters 'w' and 'd'. If you're texting, you write 'wd'. It's the same!

And as blogs go, isn't this the most unfathomably random and entirely pointless entry you've ever read?
