    New Zealand's Qualifications Authority said Friday that it still strongly discourages students from using anything other than full English, but that credit will be given if the answer "clearly shows the required understanding," even if it contains text-speak.
    Sounds perfectly reasonable.

    Good luck sending in a job application written with AIM talk.

    Hah. The inane coddling of schoolkids continues.

    It'll be a larf when they get out in the real world.
