Txt spk
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
Txt speek, to give it its full name in standard English, is a radical outgrowth of phonics which has taken root in Mediocre Britain over the last eighteen months (more or less).
[edit] Txt spk
The Mediocre British are, as is well known, legendarily lazy, and hence the mobile phone proved, as expected, to be the most enthusiastically adopted invention there since sliced bread once it was realised that it removed the need to leave one's chair when calling out for pizza delivery.
Once the populace discovered that it allowed a new dialect of their language which left out most of the letters, they were overjoyed; an extra four seconds a day which can be spent watching their favourite TV shows (such as the UK Hitler Channel!).
[edit] Literature in txt spk
Of course, this has had an affect on Mediocre British schools; currently, the leading lights of Medibritish literature (Jeffrey Archer, Mills and Boon, Edwina Currie) are busily working on new editions of their classic tales of love, loss and terror. The University of Mediocre Britain has started its evangelism of the new orthography to Medibritain's larger neighbour, Great Britain, by translating the work of William Shakespeare; some selected quotes follow.

The similarities with l33t speak have been noted by some Medibritish experts in linguistics; it is hoped that the appeal of this to that key demographic, and resultant immigration, will give a kick start to the otherwise struggling technological sector of the country's economy.
