Resurrecting an old thread here, but I would definitely be interested in something like this. We have our censor filter full of "text messaging abbreviations" because it drives us crazy when posts on our board are written in shorthand (hey, we're old). We try to tell posters that we don't charge by the letter, but they don't always listen. It would be great if we could automatically replace words like "ne1" with "anyone" and "gr8" with "great", etc.
