Director, it's a sloppy new world out there for old buggers like you and me; young people seem to have invented a whole new language, they use the word 'text' as a verb, and then use their, ah, 'mobile' telephonic apparatus to shorten their words down to incomprehensible levels.
It wasn't like that in our day, man; groovy, baby - hang loose and chill out.
