I think this is a completely delightful and clever message. It is complet=

readable and every single person under 30 in the UK would be able to read=
 it
with no difficulty whatsoever. That is how the modern young generation
communicate via SMS (text) messages, usually via their mobile phones but
also in e-mails.=0D
Any literate, A grade student would also be able to tell you that the use=
 of
such abbreviations and slang is for the specific purposes of correspondin=

with friends via electronic mediums and not for use in classrooms or form=
