The way people would write a 'diet-sms', would be to truncate the way normal English sms / conversation is written. For eg: instead of writing 'Lets meet for lunch' as an sms, which is more than 15 characters, in order to avail the benefit of a diet-sms, a consumers would write - 'ltz mt 4 lnch' (which is within the limit of 15 characters). The objective of the contest therefore is to promote this 'new language"
