Language lost in translation, language lost in abbreviations, language lost in even emojis. the need for full sentences and punctuation is gone, and texting is to blame.

Slang has revolutionised communications, stemming from morse codes where abbreviations where often used, to short hand and now modern day slang. Slang is a new language that the youth has created, a skill used alongside regular words, enabling the 'texting society' to multi task in this new 'balancing act' between abbreviations and 'real' words.]]> 2019-09-08 18:31:25 UTC https://padlet.com/clara_hofmann/dwb0opv275xv/wish/381340444
