Reply to "I was thinking more about"
I really enjoyed your blog post and was struck by how some people are actually embarrassed with their blackberry. It never once occurred to me that texting has its own discourse and people who do not know abbreviations such as LOL, OMG, TTYL are perhaps even left out. This led me to think that this phenomenon does not apply only in the virtual world anymore. I know many people especially students who express themselves with internet/texting terminologies. Does this ability to know this particular this slang affect our social circle? What will the future of the standards of literacy be? Will it include knowing this informal language as a requirement to live an ideal life?
