LG helping parents get to the bottom of all this texting nonsense
Posted on Wed May 27 2009
Remember the old days when parents tried to figure out what their kids were up to by listening in on their phone conversations, reading their diaries or probing younger siblings? What about parents today who also have cell phones to worry about? Dyk wot ur teen is txting? For those who don't speak "teen," LG has created an online DTXTR (DEE-text-ER), which is pitched as a "resource so you can decode your teen's texts, and stay on top of the texting trend." The tool translates "teen speak" to proper English, and vice versa. On the site, you can also get texting tips and take a quiz to test your knowledge of the terminology. Some terms are missing from the glossary, but LG welcomes any additions. Parents using the DTXTR might get a rude awakening regarding their innocent little darlings. IMHO.
