Learning to be '133+?

Goose checked out a book from the library today that, as far as I can tell from every glance I've gotten at it, appears to be composed entirely of simulated AIM transcripts.  It's even laid out so each page looks like the author's idea of an AIM window.  I have a creeping dread that by the time she finishes this "book" -- I hesitate to even call it that -- she'll be attempting to communicate entirely in acronyms and emoticons.

Pardon; that's actually what I meant: "Lets see... 'a,' 'b'... now, 'r' and... shoot, backspace, backspace..."

This is one thing that tempts me about the Treo -- you can get it with a small, but real, QWERTY keyboard.
