blackberry txt msgs

[Chip Chimera]

Thanks for the humour Adam, I am sorry if people received many notices.
Trying to get used to new gizmos - automated distribution, but I must've hit
the button more than once.  Also people for whom I have more than one
address got it that many times.  And then for grouptalk too!  Sorry for the
irritation.  Chip

Dear Kate, A little linguistic philosophy. Hw wll lnguge chg w nw blkbrry &
cellphn txtmsg? Wll we lose vowels, reverting back to the early semitic
alphabets? Part of our Greek heritage was the introduction of such vowels
and specific letters for those vowels, thus reducing ambiguity. Before that
scribes who appreciated context and had encountered the material before were
needed, like highly trained specialists, to read--and write. Wll the nw
scribs be our teenagers who can decipher txt msg --akin to the training of
court stenographers? Also How is a blackberry different from a cell phone re
text messgs? Its hard to lern th nw code. Laughing at how the world evolves,
your pal, tele, Adam ----- Original Message ----- From: To: ; Sent: Friday,
