Winston Author had quoted that, rook line are the someone, and the old language the mortal of all. We surmise today's procreation got inspired by the introductory half of the citation that 'unstressed text are the mortal.' Facebook limits position updates to 420 characters, SMS limits users to use 160 characters, and Peep has a circumscribe of 140 characters. Is the circumscribe to 140 characters in Cheep, changing the way we indite and mouth? Dramatist was credited with introducing over 3,000 line to the Side dictionary; but today's propagation's lexicon is narrow to vindicatory 800 words per day, making them unemployable.
Today's teenagers desist using a panoptic knowledge and difficult line and relic shortened line. The primary concern is that edifice kids are so victimized to using alphanumeric characters instead of overflowing language, that they use the synoptical 'stubby' language in the examinations. The overall indicator of the communication has fallen drastically; and teens are now production their text and module. Teachers can see an increment in the wares of students using 'u' for 'you', 'r' for 'are', 'b4u' for 'before you' and umteen writer. A news publicised by the Categorisation and Qualifications Coalition in 2004 had disclosed that author than 700,000 country scripts scarred that twelvemonth had matter spelling mistakes equivalent 'u' for 'you'.
The impression of the usage of text messaging communication in exams enlarged after a intellectual handed an essay holographic completely in matter message handwriting, more to the bemusement of the pedagogue. One get said "My smmr hols were Kewl. B4, v usd2go2NY 2c my bro, his gf & thr 3 kids. ILNY, it's a gr8 plc." (My summer holidays were chill. Before, we old to go to New Royalty to see my brother, his girlfriend and their trine kids. I copulate New Royalty, it is a majuscule station.")
The satirical Christianly online publication Ship of Fools, once ran a rivalry to re-write the Peerage's Petition in 160 characters or less-the size of a ambulatory book message. The winner, Mather Campbell or York Lincoln, condensed it thus: dad@hvn, ur spshl. we essential wot u requisite &urth2b equivalent hvn. giv us substance & 4giv r sins lyk we 5gv uvaz. don't judge us! economize us! bcos we kno ur boss, ur tuf & ur unemotional 4 eva! ok? Certainly such treatments would hit epos specified as Writer's War and Peace-at recognize a whopping 1,400+ pages-into a composer pocket-sized interpret. But, humanities experts feel that specified a advise would injury the feeling of mensuration, having to make out all the abbreviations, and would be aimed just at the teenage markets.
