What Is Up With The Grammer & These Text Messages???

 

 

We need to be reminded, because I still hear my parents both teachers telling me the following. Read it, re-read it, condense it down, make several drafts. For me writing was never a strong suit and still isn't. However, I do believe the importance of proper verbiage, punctuation, etc.

 

The many blogs written are far superior, compared to my wishful ability of word coordination. Now, I see how important it is some 35 years later. What is happening now with texting shorthand leaves a lot to be desired. Does anyone else agree this is out of control and teaching oneself to be dumbed down?

When I worked for a collection agency we HAD to use a type of abbreviated note taking. The computer program would only allow for a number of letters. This is where the abbreviated handwriting had to have come in. I like to use it but it has become quite accessive.

When you live in a Twitterverse with only 140 characters, abbreviations are inevitable.

I agree with you. I do not like to receive texts when the sender has abbreviations that make no sense.

I feel like we're all a little guilty of this with the grammar, even if we think we're not.
