Do you speak English? Do you speak e-mail English? Maybe you don’t. E-mail English is a new kind of English that many people use to save time. A lot of e-mail English words come from a computer program called QQ, which means I seek(寻找)you. Ian Lancashire, a Canadian teacher, likes QQ, “People can use QQ to talk with each other using computer. But, you have to be able to type quickly or the other person will be bored. So e-mail English can give some help.”
A message in e-mail English mostly uses two kinds of new words. The first kind is made up of the first letters of the words. These are called acronyms. The second kind is homophones,letter combination(合并), symbols that sound like other words.
Acronyms in an e-mail save space and time. It takes a long time to write by the way. BTW is much faster. Other acronyms are F2F which stands for face to face, CSL for can’t stop laughing and DBEYR for don’t believe everything you read! Some of the acronyms look like strange words, such as SWAK. But this one means sealed(封口) with a kiss.
Homophones often use letters and numbers that sound like words or parts of words. For example, 8 sound like—eat in great, to save time, people write gr8. Another example is CU for see you or sometimes CU l8r (see you later)
The number 2 is used for to or too and the number 4 is used instead of for.
Another part of e-mail is emotive symbols(表情符号) which make faces when you look at them sideways. The most common emotive, is the happy face :). A comma (逗号) is often used to help add other parts of the face and show different expressions.
E-mail English is fun. An e-mail message with lots of e-mail English starts to look like secret code(密码). Your best friend will probably understand it, but your parents and teachers may not. In fact, many teachers don’t like e-mail English. It’s not just because they can’t comprehend what it means. It’s because students start to use e-mail English in their everyday writing. E-mail English is great for writing quickly. But most teachers say that e-mail English should only be used in e-mails to one’s friends.

     Can you understand the beginning of this essay? 
     "My smmr hols wr CWOT. B4, we usd 2go2 NY2Cmy bro, his GF&3kds FTF." The Scottish teacher who
received it in class had no idea what the girl who wrote it meant .The essay was written in a form of English
used in mobile phone text messages. Text messages(also called short messages) through mobile phones became
very popular in the late 1990s .At first, mobile phone companies thought that text messaging would be a good
way to send messages to customers, but customers quickly began to use the text messaging service to send
messages to each other .Teenagers in particular enjoyed using text messaging , and they began to create a new
language for messages called texting.
     A text message is usually 160 characters (字节), including letters, spaces and numbers, so messages must
be kept short. In addition, typing on the small keypad of a mobile phone is difficult, so it's common to make
words shorter. In texting, a single letter or number can represent a word, like "r" for "are", "u" for "you", and
"2" for "to". Several letters can also represent a phrase, like "lol" for "laughing out loud". Another way of texting
is leaving out letters in a word, like spelling "please" as "pls".
     Some parents and teachers worry that texting will make children bad spellers and bad writers. The student
who wrote this essay at the top of this passage said writing that way was more comfortable for her. (The essay
said," My summer holidays were a complete waste of time.Before, we used to go to New York to see my
brother, his girl friend and their three kids face to face.")
     Not everyone agrees that texting is a bad thing. Some experts say languages always change. This is just
another way for English to change. Other people believe texting will disappear soon. New technology for voice
message may soon make text message a thing of the past.
