Here is a detailed review by Donald Clark of David Crystal's txtng (the gr8 db8), published earlier this year by the Oxford University Press. The review (and the book, by the tone of the review) is a strong counter to those who claim that the spread of texting degrades language rather than improves texters' writing (and other) capabilities. Crystal's blog is worth keeping an eye on.
