Text/Abbreviated Messages!!


Communication is the most important aspect of life in the society, nationally and globally. Many ways of communications are precedent, we used to use smoke to call meetings, drums, or verbatim( word to word) before technology came in.

Due to the advancement of technology, wireless ways of communicating is evident, the use of Bluetooth, wirefii, 3G,4G, internet even GPS came in handy . Mobile phones also included, we now began a way of writing that is shorthand. The point is, it communication.

Abbreviated Messages (The Future Language).

This topic to come about, I had challenges with my way of writing formal reports or documents. I realized that I had problems with spellings and grammar but as for online chats, I discovered that as I was writing in short hands, It was little bit fast.

Abbreviated messages are the latest way of COMMUNICATION mostly done by young adults, this is evident through online portals like facebook, yahoo, hotmail,skype messengers and so on. I researched that in schools,teens included sort of inherited this.

By the look of things, shorthand writing has to been there, in the fields of programming, the main reason is that it is speedy. Though back in the days, during the times of Guru literature like William Shakespeare, the present way of communicating that is English evolved from their English Literature. Formal writing and poetry goes together though in poems there is involvement of metaphors it evident that grammar is the main base to communication. If we understand each others grammar no matter what language one speaks.


Nowadays these are phrases used when we communicate; OMG (oh my god), l8 for late, the millenia speak as some experts call it. The netSpeak is now spreading at a rapid rate not only chat messages with smileys are involved, online dictionaries for this new language "The Future language" are now present. Shops, Banks and many corporate businesses have inherited the trend. e.g maybank2u.

Pros

1. It is fast
2. Stimulates creativity.
3.Popular, the new trend
4.Future language


Cons

1.Spelling errors
2.Alteration of grammar
3.Distortion of language literature
4.multiple interpretation
5.

I will keep on updating the cons and pros of the use of short handwriting. Now with the information I collected my main focus is not take sides on either the cons or pros but to make the society the young adults in particular, to be aware of the involvement in this new form of communication.
