There you have it, not only was Charles Dickens an expert novelist, but he was also an AWESOME text messanger!

Haha! Very funny, Ethan. As usual Dickens is ahead of the times using text messaging slang before text messaging even exists! And Chelsea, clever reply:)
AN WEN I M PRENGTD 2 JO WOT LARX AN BELEVE ME .... The first couple times I read this I thought it said, "And when I'm pregnant to Jo Wot, look and believe." Obviously some confusion arose here.
Haha, wow, that was witty. Unfortunately, if you tried to tell some text-messager that he speaks like a character from one of Charles Dickens's books, they'd be like, "dude wtf is charles dickens lol"
