Dialectual Text Messaging/Quote of the Day

I have one friend who is absolutely brilliant at conveying their tone and manner of speaking in a text message. Their own personal dialect, presented almost phonetically in a text message.

Now normally I detest poorly spelt and punctuated text messages. But this person is brilliant. If you've ever read and respected Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting for the written imitation of the Scottish dialect of the characters, you might know what I mean. This message describes the way that this person speaks so much that you can hear it in your head as you read.

Here is a prime example:

U bitch and tell bill i said get fukd. I nearly believed u ay that was a good 1 u had me goin ay


Brilliant is all I can say.
