From a fellow blogger (HT: Hal). This, I guess, is why my students can actually communicate with students in other classes without having to say a word or write something that is knowable to professors who don’t know cell phone lingo.
\nFirst, I ask this: What does “SMS” mean? I hoped it might show up under “SMS” but, evidently, I was supposed to know. Now I feel like a “dodo”.
