To save words or texting chat, children and young mixed-mathematical symbols and letters-which has led to create the language XAT. Experts say the challenge is for users to use only the means which was created and to avoid distorting the English
popularity among young people XAT language (also known as sms language because it is used in sending messages by phone or internet), has been to create a virtual dictionary to see and understand the meaning of icons and abbreviations.
Expressions like + a (mass), a2 (goodbye) ad + (addition), xq (why) can be easily understood by this tool, created by the users of that language, with which you can also understand various symbols denoting emotions ":) (happy)", ":-( (sad)" or "S (confusion)."

According to specialists of the Institute of Philological Research of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and the Mexican Internet Association, XAT using language that encourages children and young people who use it to communicate via messages Internet phone or further develop their mental abilities and imagination.
claim that this practice is a form of effective communication. However, they warn that failure to make clear that the language XAT is only for use in the chat (online chat) or messages, may become a problem.
"The important thing is that young people are not limited to this type of language and education system in the country is able to root them well in the use and application of their native language: English, "the teacher in Hispanic Languages \u200b\u200bResearch Institute philological UNAM, Gloria Baez Pinal.
One of the main criticisms of the language XAT (which owes its name to the distortion of the sound of the word chat) is the impoverishment of English, while threatening their existence, but Pinal Baez indicates that this criticism comes from people who fear the unknown.
Baez Specialist Pinal recognizes that there is "a lack of interest from the State in terms of language policies concerning the teaching of English" and that if users "limit their communication to a single option (language XAT), which is also selective and generational , then we can talk about an impoverishment of English. "
reiterates that teachers must guide it to the kids and make them understand that the school must respect the rules.
The spelling mistakes are not sins of chat
Eduardo Davila, member of the Mexican Internet Association (AMIPCI) states that if young people have problems spelling, no punctuation know and can not write, not to blame the internet or chat, "but education, not even the current teacher but the whole fabric of the education system in country. If you do not neglect this very important part, XAT be taken as a successful alternative media. "
On the use of this language in school, experts suggest that teachers are those who are intent on rooting While the use of mother tongue because if these problems today is because they are not paying enough attention to education basic.
The root of this problem, reiterate, is not the chat or the internet or cell phones. "For me XAT language is a form of writing and successful communication, young people finally understand and we must not cross nor deny but to accept this language as it exists and fair value" Davila said.
For experts, it is important that children and young people who use this language know where, when and with whom to apply, understand that there are several channels that need various forms of communication and language XAT should be applied only in the media in which it was created and for which it was created.
Currently, they say, this practice is a willingness and depends on the education system does not become impossible for children and young people to use their mother tongue.
the subject experts also advocate the benefits of this language as it activates the mental ability of young people as there are many abstract terms and for the same set of letters may be two or three meanings for the same idea, two or three abbreviations . Pinal Baez
The teacher, coordinator of Hispanic Linguistics Center of the Institute of Philological Research of UNAM, explains that the XAT is an example of economy of language as it reduces the alphabet looking for a relationship between the phonetic alphabet and a sign that representing, for example ksa for that house.
This is one of the advantages that defend the sms dictionary users, called "hexo x ti and x ti" (done for you and for you), in addition to saving time, space and sometimes even money.
also say it is fun and more and more abbreviations and icons can be found in the dictionary that many young people need to keep not to get out.
Although one of the main objectives is the speed in the end what counts is that the addressee understands. So, we started to remove the vowels from the words ns vms, qdms ls 8 (we meet, we meet at eight), shorten some more "dr" (right) "edo" (State), applied mathematical symbols like +, -, x, to sequences of signs that represent emotions and to create images of Christ or Homer Simpson, for example. XAT
language also eliminates the letter h, accents and in some cases, punctuation, since its main function is to say as much in a small space and time as possible and that is why more and more the chaters ( users) to consult the dictionary sms.

"The dictionary seems an excellent tool, as well as there is a need for an English-English or French-English that good to have a sms-Castilian dictionary, "says Eduardo Davila, AMIPCI. Carlos Rubio Fred, also an expert of the Institute of Philological Research of UNAM, the dictionary describes SMS as a positive tool for explaining the meanings of XAT and is open to be enriched by the users themselves, so we can talk "of a great universal dictionary.
