I have recently read the article above which explains how 'text talk' is being used all over social media and therefore is slowly changing the English language. For people who are not aware of these new words and abbreviations it can be very confusing.
In the article it states that " 86 per cent of all British parents think teenagers speak an entirely different language on social media and mobile messaging." Could this mean that when this younger generation grows older the English language will have completely changed, or will 'text talk' eventually become outdated like the article suggest has already happened with certain phrases. The article also includes a little quiz to test your knowledge on these abbreviations and phrases, some more obvious than others.
It also speaks about how we are now using a photographic way of communication, mainly emoticons, and claims that maybe in the future these icons will take over the 'text talk' language.
