Language. Are We Speaking Right?

Everyone has a language from all over the world. It could be Greek, Korean, Spanish, Chinese, Spanish, etc. but whatever the language, people have this form as well as need to communicate with each other. Many of these languages can either extend a conversation or even make it short. For example, do you want to go with me to the store? While in Spanish its ¿Quieres ir conmigo a la tienda? We can see that when a person speaks the Spanish way of saying it is shorter than the one in English. Although there are many who can see the difference between languages when spoken there is a language that is changing the world as we write and making it even shorter. Communicating has never been simpler until the 1990’s when the first text message was sent out and made it easier to communicate around the world.Texting is changing the way people communicated with each other because a conversation can be shortening to abbreviations. For example:

DWAI (don’t worry about it)

GL (good luck)

SMH (shaking my head)

LOL (laugh out loud)

TTYL (talk to you later)

 This new language is revolutionizing the way many interact with others in their everyday life. Many of the people who use these are often teens however many adults have begun using these methods of texting as well. Methods that can be positive as well as negative towards it.

Imagine Bobby want to ask Sky to the school dance. He can either ask her in person or write her a quick message to just get it over with. Does this make him less sociable because he isn’t in person face directly? Rejecting is in our everyday lives. Getting rejected from the college of your dreams, rejected from a job, rejected from a kiss, etc. A whole conversation can be talked just by using abbreviations, which can cause a lack of communication between

 

Although this might be true a person also has to remember that sometimes a message is more useful than confronting a person head on. Being able to message a person is also a good thing to do when confronting someone because it couple get violent which is something most people don’t want to happen. A person is not going to fully write every single word in abbreviations because then someone would look as if they were just getting back a bunch of letters bunched up together. But parts of the conversation would be represented by abbreviating the words needs to be. This can shorten the length of the message so it wouldn’t look much of a bother to read it from another person’s point of view. This new language is a good way to show that the world is changing as well as the world communicates with one another.  http://mashable.com/2012/09/21/text-messaging-history/http://www.netlingo.com/acronyms.php
