R u confused by this new age way of dialogue exchange? Or do u find urself speaking in IM code during a typical conversation? Nothing seems 2B fast enough 4 the busy American these days, and AIM/Text Messaging lingo proves it. This cartoon illustrates society's need 4speed.
Obviously, Tigger can't seem to get away fast enough. In fact, all of that rushing seems to have costed him his grammer skills!
Now, I do not find this new age way of communication a plague on society, though some may disagree. I do not believe that being in an IM conversation or a simple "txt msg" exchange will lead to bad grammer habits or that the act itself is dangerous. However, if you find yourself compromising your exercise for a 24 hour IM conversation, going on about what your favorite poptart is or what your dog is doing right now, we have a problem.
The issues that even I've experienced through all of this is that nothing seems to be fast enough for our busy lives, and no one seems to take the time to smell the proverbial roses anymore! Feel like chatting? Chat! But don't forget to stop and let the steaming keyboard cool down every once and a while.
