when you're trying to write a philosophical treatise in a text
message, or even giving directions to a party, each of 160 characters
counts for a lot!
personally, when i reach the limit, i go back through the message
removing unnecessary words, deleting excess spaces, and (sometimes)
contracting words (e.g. you->u, to->2, etc). i don't use "l8r", but
i'm not surprised that some do.
plan 9 relevance? naah, sorry.
