Texting for beginners - this really does take the biscuit!

Saw this today and it cracked me up -

I'm sure it's not a waste of taxpayer's money, I mean instruction manuals are so tricky to understand these days! :) (SPV one excluded of course!) I could understand a course on how to use the SPV, but on how to go through a few menus on a Nokia? It'd be like phoning up OCS!

My favourite feedback quote has to be -

I THNK ITS A V GUD IDEA-MY MUM CAN NEVR UNDSTND WOT IM ON ABOUT!

English is superior to scum language.

I remember the same happening earlier to make English spelt 'lyk u speek it'. Thankfully it didn't get very far (Spell Check is a wonderful invention IMHO).

Anyway, lets hope the government don't bother, but knowing them they will. It seems as soon as Tony gets an idea into his head he won't let go of it, EVER. Remember the Dome? The firefighters? Or Iraq? Or now even the Euro.

We stopped living in a working democracy some time ago peeps.

Why didn't they just run a course called 'How to read an instruction manual'?

Boy, am I glad there are only upto 70,000 SP-powered phones in UK or we'd be seeing MSc Degrees at uni's on using the buggers...
