(http://www.chaser.com.au/images/stories/070705mobile300.jpg)Karen tries to craft a meaningful response to the inpenetrable SMSCritics have slammed an SMS sent by account executive Morgan
Teuber to a group of his friends, claiming the tone of his brief communication
is unclear. The text message, which stated a desire "2 C TRANSFORMERS ITLL B
COOL", has divided recipients, who are unable to reach consensus on whether
Teuber was serious, joking or something . . .

OK, maybe we could invent a SMS Nuance Specification;

= sarcasm
eg: that's because blondes are so clever[/]

[n] = not really serious
eg: [n]Seiously, you should enrol in a G and T school![/]


etc
