Be My Valentine - y? b/c u r qt

The text messaging craze is likely to be the big thing this Valentine's Day - but it's not without its risks.

According to a survey by student phone service "dot mobile", four out of ten young people in the UK intend to send a Valentine's text rather than the traditional card. However six out ten will be flirting with someone other than their usual partner. These people need to be especially careful - one text flirter in four has sent a hot text message to the wrong person!

Dot Mobile also points out the risks of "predictive text": for example, "kiss" and "lips" can easily become mixed up as can "cor" and "cop".
