If the above paragraph doesn't make an iota of sense to you, you might want to ask a teenager for assistance in translating the message written in Texting, the way that GenNext communicates -- much to the horror of their teachers. To translate what your teen is saying on her Blackberry, go to www.lingo2word.com. You are keeping up with popular culture, right?

Translation: Hello. I am writing you from the future. I have written this short column entirely in text messaging lingo -- which is now accepted worldwide. I work for a news text firm and I write a sports column and occassionally report on local interests here in New York. I urge all you writers to keep up with technology -- you never know what writing might look like tomorrow!
