Ottawa, Canada, December 30, 2005 -- With an estimated 100 billion text messages sent since 1999 and more than 32 billion text messages sent in 2005 alone, the written English language is being modified by users of modern text enabled applications and communication devices at an alarming rate.

Written English is being morphed with phonetic forms of words and phrases, adding both symbols and characters to incorporate and communicate emotions as part of a message. The transL8it.com website has allowed users to translate lingo to and from English, as well as participate as a community to help define sms translations.

"We wrote the 'transL8it! dxNrE & glosRE' to help both demystify, as well as standardize online chat and sms text lingo which is part of hundreds of millions of messages sent worldwide each day" said Dan Wilton, Prez of transl8it!

"I'm sure you have received, sent or witnessed correspondence including ROTFL , CU l8r , :) , and IMHO " says Wilton. "In fact, kids have used acronyms such as PLOS or have been reported using cryptic messages that allow them to communicate in exams or even have even extended SMS to schoolyard bullying!"

From beginner to expert, this handy "dxNrE & glosRE" (dictionary and glossary) is a must for anyone who wants to better understand online chat and SMS text lingo. If you are a user of email, chat, or mobile communication devices, you have probably found yourself both reading and writing this lingo without knowing it!

Written by Dan Wilton of transL8it! and co-authored by Caitlin Horrall and Sudha Seshadri, this book is the complete guide to understanding today’s online chat and SMS text lingo language revolution.
