Do you like texting and IMing? From now since 400 years ago the way we talk has changed A LOT! Researchers have a new name for texing, messaging and e-mail. they call it computer-mediated communication, or CMC. Language shortcuts such as ttyl ( which means talk to you later) obviouly have no place in school assignments. But there are competitions that have exceptions with poetry. Students usually pay more attention to what they say in IMing then in papers for grading. Men tend to write in short sentences, and women usually write in complete sentences. New technologies open up many communication possiblities in the future.
