Doctors, I'm really interested in hearing a discussion from you two on the possible benefits or consequences of shorthand, e.g. "shrthnd." Lately, I've found myself "cmpsng txt msgs" this way. I surmise the use of such would result in shorter education periods, which in turn

would lower the costs of education. If the time it took to get a high school or college degree was chopped in half, lagging students may be found to be more intelligent than currently assumed.
