Nothing personal, but it's an assault on the English language. Why can't you just write your stuff out normally? You can't be saving enough time with this shorthand to make it worth the bother.

If your message is that long that you need shorthand, just call the person, or use voicemail.

My best system for texting to someones cell phone is to just freaking call them on their cell phone and talk to them.
