When I read this I think about the two kids in the movie " Sleepless in Seattle"!! This is very intersting, we are talking about this a bit in Modern English in respect to the way that Language is changing. I wonder did our parents feel like their education was so different than ours? I feel like I am looking to my children to teach me things all of the time. I have never used text messaging before however I am thinking that I need to start soon. I am not ready to be old yet! Great content! I enjoy reading your work! I love your subjects!

My linguistics class has been touching on this subject, so your blog caught my interest. I was surfing through different articles on Google reader, and I came across an interesting one from NPR. The article mainly discusses that within the past five years the evolution of a “brand new language” has been occurring. I think it is really interesting to read about different linguists’ observations on the development of this shorthand way of using language. While purist linguists think that the shorthand text language is a negative occurrence, other linguists believe that it broadens the range and expressiveness of the language. This is becoming a battle for descriptivists and prescriptivists, and it's probably driving prescriptivists insane! Normally, I would be an agreement with the purists’ opinion, but (like most people) I use shorthand language every day. Regardless of whether or not this shorthand language is a negative/positive thing, it’s still occurring and it’s important to keep up with the changes as society grows. I’m really looking forward to see where you go with this blog topic! Megan Hi Kristie!
