SJB,
Where did you learn this new language. I still sms using english and it costs me 2x as much. Can you direct me to a good english sms school in Bangkok for my next trip here? Guess Thai language suffers more than english as they have lost many consonants from the keypad. Guess these will dissapear from their language soon the same as Kor Khuat and Kor Kon did when the keyboard was invented. Or so I'm told. Khuat now spelt with eggs and Kon spelt with buffalo.

I will still read your posts when I'm back in Meurng Farang

Hi Jason, ask the kids with mobiles! They know more about it than anyone. A lot of it is using both upper and lower case letters together to get the 'rIt' sound when read litterally. numbers are also used because of the sound, not numeric value.
C U l8er, for example.

Does anybody have an explanation why at a Thai birthday celbration, with or without English speakers present, "Happy Birthday to you..." will be sung in perfect English by children and adults alike? Is there no Thai version? Just something I've noticed for years and wondered about.

Please edit the word "perfect" above to "understandable".

I've never noticed the perfect English bit myself. They also never say the Happy Birthday dear "John", but just repeat Happy Birthday which usually sounds like Happy Birt-day.

Also, ask most people who sang it what Birthday means and they don't know.
