You certainly should not allocate any during an ISR. Before posting again, please learn to type correctly.

With the cost of mobile phone access, people learn to compress their costs by compressing the text. Hence, a side effect of SMS-speak appears on the internet. It's a bit like the days when we had 110 baud modems and minimal pocket money. Be nice to your global neighbours!

Since you mentioned no specific platform, I would suggest you NOT do it. Ed

I, for one, don't want to spend my time uncompressing SMS-speak, so I usually just ignore such posts. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!

However, I don't really buy your idea that SMS-speak is saving costs. You don't pay per letter for SMS messages (at least, I've never heard of such a scheme) - you pay per message. SMS abbreviations are nothing more than laziness. That's fine for teenagers chatting together - it's not appropriate in a newsgroup for professionals and serious amateurs. I'm quite happy to talk with non-native (or native!) English speakers using "imaginative" grammar - but I expect people to use full words or standard newsgroup abbreviations, I expect them to get capitalisation and punctuation roughly correct, and I expect them to use a spell checker (from any half-decent newsreader, or browser for Google groups) to get most words correct. Thus I fairly politely ask posters to communicate in the language of this newsgroup - it's in their interests to learn, since it will help them be more professional, and they'll get answers from Grant Edwards!
