Paw

A paw is the soft foot of a mammal, generally a quadruped, that has claws.

Common characteristics

The paw is characterised by thin, pigmented, keratinised, hairless epidermis covering subcutaneous, collagenous, and adipose tissue, which make up the pads. These pads act as a cushion for the load-bearing limbs of the animal. The paw consists of the large, heart-shaped metacarpal or palmar pad (forelimb) or metatarsal or plantar pad (rear limb), and generally four load-bearing digital pads, although there can be five or six toes in the case of domestic cats and bears (including giant panda). A carpal pad is also found on the forelimb which is used for additional traction when stopping or descending a slope in digitigrade species. Additional dewclaws can also be present.

The paw also includes a horn-like, beak shaped claw on each digit. Though usually hairless, certain animals do have fur on the soles of their paws. An example is the red panda, whose furry soles help insulate them in their snowy habitat.

SMS language

SMS language or textese (also known as txt-speak, txtese, chatspeak, txt, txtspk, txtk, txto, texting language, txt lingo, SMSish, txtslang, txt talk) is a term for the abbreviations and slang commonly used with mobile phone text messaging, but sometimes used with other Internet-based communication such as email and instant messaging.

Three features of early mobile phone messaging encouraged users to use abbreviations: (a) Text entry was difficult, requiring multiple key presses on a small keypad to generate each letter; (b) Messages were limited to 160 characters, and (c) it made texting faster.

Once it became popular it took on a life of its own and was often used outside of its original context. At its peak, it was the cause of vigorous debate about its potentially detrimental effect on literacy, but with the advent of alphabetic keyboards on smartphones its use, and the controversies surrounding it, have receded.

History

SMS language is similar to that used by those sending telegraphs that charged by the word. It seeks to use the fewest number of letters to produce ultra-concise words and sentiments in dealing with space, time and cost constraints of text messaging. This follows from how early SMS permitted only 160 characters and some carriers charge messages by the number of characters sent.

    Change the pain
    Of what you feel
    You keep it inside
    You made it real
    Twenty times to get it
    Twenty times to give
    You kept it inside, long enough
    Enough to let it live
    I feel no shame
    For what I do
    Mistakes the same
    The hate rings true
    Never had no heaven
    Had too much of hell
    I never cared what I did
    It's probably just as well
    I've heard it all before
    I know nothin's gonna change
    I've heard it all before
    I know nothin's gonna change
    I've heard it again and again
    I know nothin's gonna change
    Aw, change the way I feel
    Change the pain
    Of what you feel
    You keep it inside
    You made it real
    Twenty times to get it
    Twenty times to give
    You kept it inside long enough
    Enough to let it grow
    I've heard it all before
    I know nothin's gonna change
    I've heard it all before
    I know nothin's gonna change
    I've heard it again and again
    I know nothin's gonna change
    Aw, change the way I feel
    You swing up to me acting like everything's jake between us.
    It starts off easy enough,
    but you don't get more than one chance,
    before I don't know you anymore.
    It's easy for me.
    and I don't miss you that much.
    But I can tell by the hurt in your eyes.
    It's only gonna take a little push,
    to make all the hurt blossom up inside of you.
    Yeah, I'm caught in my own trap
    I'm caught in my own trap
    Caught in my own trap again
    I feel no pain
    I feel no shame
    You'll hurt yourself
    When you turn on me
    Yeah, I've heard it all before
    I know nothin's gonna change
    Hey, your mom and dad
    Can't teach you like I can
    I'm goin' back and forth
    Back and forth again
    And I'm wrong enough
    To say how right I am
    And nothin' will take away your pain
    And nothin' will take away your shame
    And nothin' is ever gonna change
