Talk:Gyaru-moji

Hiragana consisting of connected strokes are replaced by symbols or Greek letters: for example, す (su) may be rendered as the section symbol § ..... § is not a Greek letter.


 * Yes, it says "by symbols or Greek letters". In this case, a symbol is used. It's just one example. 69.109.163.237 03:47, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Additionally, I don't understand the comparison of Gyaru-moji with SMS language. The latter is used for speeding up writing and reducing character quantity (as character quantity is the main restriction in SMS sending). Gyuaru-moji does the opposite: making two characters out of one. --Abdull 12:25, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I believe that the writer making the comparison to texting didn't mean for it to sound like gyaru-moji is shorthand. Rather, I believe the context was to address the obfuscation aspect of the system - where both gyaru-moji and texting actually complicates the communications, making it much more difficult for readers who are not familiar with the writing system. People like myself have a very difficult time interpreting texting languages - to the point where I actually avoid reading them. Same thing with gyuaru-moji - it is meant to be more of a deterrant.
