How many of you Twitter? Or are you a Bebo kind of person? Do you Facebook your messages? Are you an image/text messager with phone/computer using Skype or Flickr?
Whatever SMS application or service you use, do you believe that it is true that the way people speak to each other is changing? Will the manner in which people all over the world “talk” have an effect on the English language as you know it?
When you send messages, most SMS or txtmsg apps or services require your message to be of a certain length–140 characters maximum on Twitter, 120 or so with some cell company text messages, and so on.
Because of such restrictions, some people have become message poets: Their messages have to be boiled down to only the most necessary words–regardless if they are using SMS lingo. It is the somewhat natural evolution of communication, it seems.
So, WDYT? Has SMS changed the way you communicate? Will the next generation of kids even use a mouthpiece on their phones? Would you rather txt than talk?
