Kitty Pidgin / TxtMsg dictionaries

"Yay! I can has operator services!" I said to Wax, as my phone beeped to tell me my airtime refill had arrived. Then I thought, 'Why doesn't the sms just say, 'YES U CAN HAS AIRTIME'? It'd save space and be funny'. Then I thought about the phone's sms-creator dictionaries that allow for auto completion. My phone has English, Swedish, and a few others. Wouldn't it be great, I thought, if it had Kitty Pidgin?

And then I thought further: why not TxtMsg? You know the majority of text messagers save time by writing all smses in that shorthand anyway. It would save even more time if auto complete could be automatically set to follow it.

Do I really not have a linguistics tag? Well, oops. That was an embarrassing lack of forethought... I should probably go back and make a lolcat one too.
