Talk:SMS language

This article is horrendously out of date
The line "However, screens are still small and the input problem persists, so SMS language is still widely used for brevity. " Shows how old certain sections are. Mobile phone screens aren't small anymore, and the input problem does not persist as most every mobile phone in use today has a full on screen keyboard, rather than the multiple 'button push' keyboard of prior days. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AdamF657 (talk • contribs) 17:06, 1 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Twitter users resort to sms-speak sometimes due to the SMS era legacy: 140-character-posts are tempting to try and use the old school skills. 109.252.188.3 (talk) 18:10, 9 April 2022 (UTC)


 * People still abbreviate because it's faster, fr fr no cap. I do think labeling this "SMS" language is increasingly anachronistic, and would suggest moving this to Textspeak. Jpatokal (talk) 02:25, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Hmmm. That is a good point, but changing this page EVERY TIME there's new internet slang would mean updating is every day. Words like "blud" and "skibidi" have only been created quite recently, and who knows where the future could take us? The Wikepidea Animat0r (talk) 15:29, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Horrendously out of date, I’m pretty sure over more than 80% of all messages use the “SMS langauge”, plus many slangs such as bro, bud, blud, bruh, et cetera, actually form commonly and are usually widely used, in game communities there are slangs for certain things.

Wouldn't it be better if we added a warning saying this page has swears?
I just think any Wikipedia page with swears should have some sort of disclaimer at the top. We should add one, what do you guys think? The Wikepidea Animat0r (talk) 15:26, 31 July 2023 (UTC)


 * That's ridiculous. Wikipedia is not censored. Python Drink (talk) 23:09, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
