An Academic Look at 241
Because some of its characters are used as substitutes for letters, 241 is classified as a internet slang term. Most "slang terms" were introduced to reduce the number of key strokes required to write a word or phrase, but since the arrival of predictive texting and keyboards on mobile devices, this efficiency is no longer required. Nevertheless, "slang terms" are still regularly used to make messages more entertaining or to express individuality. "Slang terms" differ from emoticons because they are not pictorial representations.What Did We Say before Texting and Social Media?
