Subject: NP: Writing question


Is anyone familiar with a "name" that is now given to that type of
writing which derives from the abbreviated style of e-mail, instant or
text messaging, etc.?  That use of emoticons, abbreviations (LOL, etc.),
and other such writing to convey ideas?
 
I seem to recall reading a reference to that style of writing, with a
name given to it (other than "shit," of course).
 
Anyone?
 
Thanks in advance.
