Telegraphese
Telegraphese is a style of writing in which unimportant words are omitted, and abbreviations and code words are used to compress the meaning of phrases into a small set of characters. Telegraphese arose out of the use of the telegraph, a device for transmitting electrical impulses used for communications, introduced from 1839 onwards.
