hakspek
/hak 'speek / A shorthand method of spelling found on
many British academic bulletin boards and {chat } systems .
Syllables and whole words in a sentence are replaced by single
{ASCII } characters the names of which are phonetically similar
or equivalent , while multiple letters are usually dropped .
Hence , "for " becomes "4 "; "two ", "too ", and "to " become "2 ";
"ck " becomes "k ". "Before I see you tomorrow " becomes "b4 i c
u 2moro ". First appeared in London about 1986 , and was
probably caused by the slowness of available {talk } systems ,
which operated on archaic machines with outdated {operating
systems } and no standard methods of communication . Has become
rarer since .
See also {chat }, {B1FF }, {ASCIIbonics }.

A shorthand method of spelling found on many British academic bulletin boards and talker systems .
Syllables and whole words in a sentence are replaced by single ASCII characters the names of which are phonetically similar or equivalent ,
while multiple letters are usually dropped .
Hence , ‘
for ’
becomes ‘
4 ’;
‘
two ’, ‘
too ’,
and ‘
to ’
become ‘
2 ’; ‘
ck ’
becomes ‘
k ’. “
Before I see you tomorrow ”
becomes “
b4 i c u 2moro ”.
First appeared in London about 1986 ,
and was probably caused by the slowness of available talker systems ,
which operated on archaic machines with outdated operating systems and no standard methods of communication .
Hakspek almost disappeared after the great bandwidth explosion of the early 1990s ,
as fast Internet links wiped out the old -
style talker systems .
However ,
it has enjoyed a revival in another medium —
the Short Message Service (
SMS )
associated with GSM cellphones .
SMS sends are limited to a maximum of 160 characters ,
and typing on a cellphone keypad is difficult and slow anyway .
There are now even published paper dictionaries for SMS users to help them do hakspek -
to -
English and vice -
versa .
See also talk mode .
