I recently
read an article about texting. Texting is like speaking with your fingers. But
people often speak different in text messages then in real life.
In the
article they are saying that the text language is getting richer and more complex
by the year. They say that a revolution has begun. That texting is a new kind
of talking. People don’t use any more capitalization or punctuation. Texting
has got his own grammar. For example the word ‘LOL’. The actually meaning of
LOL is ‘Laughing out loud’. But people don’t use it that way. Some people use
it in almost every sentence without it heaving any meaning: Jocelyn texts “Where
have you been?” and Annabelle texts back “LOL at the library studying for two
hours.”
My text
language isn’t that bad. I still use capitalization and punctuation. I think it
is important to use the right grammar, so it doesn’t get lost. I find it also
annoying when somebody text me, and the text message is full of abbreviations.
