Abusive text message....
Tue, 24/06/2008 - 22:06 — tdobson
I got a text today from 07890826450 saying (verbatim):
"If this is emma snellson I suggest you sort you are fuckin head owt calin me a slag.uve fuked 7 ladz so I sugest you shut you are big mouf and hide them teeth. Stop thinkin you are bad coz im nt ther.I dnt work with you now so I got no reason to kik you are head in.shut you are mouth if you no what's gud for you you litle sket."
They then tried calling be several times throughout the day, but said nothing when I picked up - they even tried from a different number: 07917116689.
Needless to say I think they had been given the wrong number!
To the best of my knowledge:
- I don't know that number
- I don't understand anything in the text message
- I'm also pretty sure I'm not called "Emma Snellson"!
I imagine I would find it less funny if I was "Emma Snellson".

That's horrific use of
That's horrific use of language.
Also features one of my favoruite frustrations with text-speak folks - the use of the word 'owt'... with a freaking 'w'. It serves no purpose whatsoever, besides spelling the word incorrectly. I can at least see the shorthand argument for using 'l8r' for example, because it saves typing nearly half the word again, but replacing a 'u' with a 'w' just astounds me.
If this person was actually hand-writing this message, they would have actually had more pen-on-paper contact, and wasted more precious ink, in writing this way, completely defeating the object.
Report them to the police for abuse. Even if it is mistaken identity, such flagrant attacks on language like that should be prosecuted.
If all else fails, do it for the lulz.
Wow. Far out. I'm glad I'm
Wow.
Far out. I'm glad I'm not called Emma Snellson, either.
"I sugest you shut you are big mouf and hide them teeth. " - that was probably my favourite bit. Do you think the person realised that you weren't Emma Snellson in the end?
:P
