[pct-l] RE: Ultralight extremes

[marge@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Marge Prothman)]

Do not think this type of English language is anything new.
A long time ago when I worked in Dispatch for a small airline out of
Seattle.
We used a teletype and always used an abbreviated form of the word in short
messages. Longer messages, like flight plans, were punched out
on a tape and then inserted into the teletype and sent.
Cd u pls snd a flt cpy.

Gosh I really dated myself on that one <:)

Cheers,  Marge (the old gal)
