In English please?

Communication consists of two parties - why is it always the one who has something to say that has to adapt to everybody else?

That's because listeners are lazy. If as a listener we have to struggle to figure out what the speaker is saying, we won't hear - unless it's life or death. And maybe not even then.

PS
Just a question: how do people who have problems accepting a quasi phonemical approach to writing deal with short-form messaging such as synchronous on-line chatting, sms-ing etc. (A serious question, as this is part of my job)

The tl;dr shorthand is the same sort of thing (tl;dr = too long; didn't read). I've seen that used two ways: as a reply to a long message, and at the end of a long message preceding a summary or synopsis.

Here is a chance for you all to hear a bit of Scots and if you understand it a laugh as well. I think it will be on the internet - http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/index.cfm?id=1384312007

You can hear it on this page. It's under Songs and click on play all. There actually not songs but radio clips.
It's pretty irreverent but that's Scottish humour. Oor Father is an interesting discussion between Father and Son about creation. The Cruel Sea has a great Scottish style of flight safety guidelines.

Preview it before playing it for your pre-teens but, then, a lot of adults won't be able to follow it either.
