[Corpora-List] All English Text Messaging Corpus?

[Benjamin Allison]

I suspect at least part of the confusion is that, for me, text message  
is synonymous with SMS. I think it also is for the people complaining  
about spam. I think (hope) those proposing all manner of things that  
look wildly unrelated to SMS are just taking text message to be  
literally a message in the medium of text.

Perhaps the author of the original message could clarify to prevent  
more chaos?
