Out of d8?

“Baroness Greenfield, the neuroscientist, is worried that sending text messages may cause young people to have shorter attention spans. If she’s right, of course, none of those young people will be aware of this, because she expressed her views in a newspaper article of several hundred words, some of them long, all of them spelled correctly, and none of them using digits as substitutes for whole syllables. All terribly old-fashioned and out-of-d8. So they won’t have read it.”
