And it's definitely not future-proofed. Languages can change a lot in decades, from pronunciation to vocabulary to grammar. People think it's crazy that we still have people editing 50 year old COBOL programs today.

(Autocorrected SMS was unpopular in my country when it was first introduced, because it corrected to german german spellings, and ever since the mid-twentieth, we've been proud of regional orthographies. I imagine francophones who use "SMS language" also have to turn off autocorrect.)
