TELEX
Telegrams and cables can be sent at any time and from any post office. This means of communication is available for twenty hours a day, but between sending a message and its arrival there can be short delay. Telex is as direct as using the phone.
The telex is a machine like a typewriter but the difference is that it has a dial on its casting. You can send messages by dialing the receiver's number or by asking the operator at the exchange to connect you. An answerback code will appear on the teleprinter indicating that the sender is through as soon as the operator has dialed the code. The message is typed and will appear on the receiver's machine.
Besides the advantages of sending a cable, telex is available right in the office, you needn't go to the post office. It offers a direct line with immediate reply.
The telex is frequently used for business communication nowadays.
The language of telexes is similar to the language used in telegraphic services, with the same rules, but there are additional abbreviations and conventions in the language of telex messages.
First, the message is written in a note form.
Secondly, all important figures should be given in words in order to avoid misunderstanding. Thirdly, at the end of the message it іs advisable to repeat any figures, percentages or unusual words. This practice is known as a "collation".
In telexes all polite phrases are limited to one word "please", and there іs also one closing word "regards". A sign "+" is put at the end.

Telecommunicators have developed their own language. It is very similar to English but it has its own vocabulary and its own grammar. A sentence like "The meeting has been arranged for the 9th October" becomes "MEETING ARRANGED 9th OCTOBER".
Telex charges depend on the time it takes to send the message (like telephoning, but cheaper), so telex operators have developed their own abbreviations.
