SMS lingo in exam paper

SMS is taking over our lives. It provides instant communication. Yet, when I read this article, on how young people are using SMS lingo in exam papers, I found it hilarious as well as shocking. On one hand, there is non-english speaking Indian population, that is learning English through mobile phone usage. On other hand, there are english-medium educated students who are using SMS language in exam papers.

I am sure the trend is not only limited to India, but is also there in other countries.
