I don’t know whether SMS was created by autists or zen monks, but it’s terribly difficult to make something as simple, and impossible to shorten further, as “I’m fine, thanks, I hope you are too, and you’ll keep as good a memory of this moment as I did, and won’t resent me for it being only one night. Big kisses.” fit into 160 characters (especially as French is longer than English). I spent hours on this message.
