You already know more  License Plate English  than you think.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLicense Plate English  is a field guide to the compressed language hiding on vanity plates, road signs, text messages, usernames, gamer tags, acronyms, abbreviations, and leet-speak. It shows how ordinary words, names, phrases, numbers, symbols, and subcultures squeeze meaning into a few characters — and why some forms are instantly readable while others fall apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is organized in three practical parts:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePart I:  The Language shows why compressed English is everywhere, from public signs and radio codes to texting, leet-speak, and internet handles.
