The old are trying to reach out to the youngsters through da SMS lingo. First da bible, now English literature. In order to aid students in studying literary classics, a professor at University College London is spearheading a project to condense plots into short messages written in “accessible” language. For example:

FeudTween 2hses- Montague&Capulet. RomeoMfalls_<3w/_JulietC@mary Secretly Bt R kils J’s Coz &&is banishd. J fakes Death. As Part of Plan2b-w/R Bt_leter Bt It Nvr Reachs Him. Evry1confuzd-bothLuvrs kil Emselves
