Slang and Abbreviation Dictionary API
We are building this API firstly for our own use at our
WAP service portal,
where a mobile phone owner can send an extremely short message from his
phone as fully elegance business SMS or email or purchasing inquiry
to his partner PC, PDA or phone through the WAP. Not only slangs, but
several popular internet abbreviations are being added to and taken
from MySQL database to help things coming up.
Now the API is published, so every web developer can
send query to our service and receive translated from slang text
back to his control script.

the text must be followed by spaces. If you dont want a word to be translated,

You see the first IM is different from the one in the end of this string. |
