How does texting or IMing affect us? Well, when you're in a conversation in technology you could say: 'heyy wassup" instead of "hey. how are you?"
There are abbreviations now such as lol (laugh out loud) or omg (oh my god). What if someone used that in an English paper? You wouldn't get a good grade.
Now think back. People used to talk like "Art thou feeling good today madame?"
People's ways of talking changed. Now someone would say "You feeling good today?"
Just think. If it changed that easily once, couldn't it change again? Text language could be the way of the future. Would you talk to your parents like this:
"Yo mom pass the milk"
Not now.
But what if language changed? That would be proper. It may be considered improper to say:
"Excuse me mom, could you pass the milk?"
We may use those abbreviations. "How are you "could be "how r u?"
Or "I don't think so" to " idts", "whats up?" to "sup?"

As you can see, texting may be the way of the future. What will happen to the English Language?
