>Jimbo, What day you wanna hang out? Tues, Wed or Thurs? Not
free Fri or Sat or Sun!!!

When analizing this text, the use of language is clearly a non standard one, I found that there is a phonetic spelling in the word "wanna", because it actually means want to. The words Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat and Sun are shortened words, as those are abriviations of the days of the week. There are also grammatical compressions, because in the text some puntuation marks are omitted.
