Language and Communication
I’ve noticed over my lifetime that communication, especially with people one knows well, has become shorter and shorter. It seems rare to find people writing letters back and forth like they did as shortly as 50 years ago. A lengthy letter to someone you are courting has been replaced now by a nonsensical message of 140 characters or less, for example: “u bzy 2nt?”. I will be the first to admit that my grammar is not the best and that I take liberties with the English language, but this may be a bit too far – even when I text I try to use proper words! Perhaps it is a sign that I am growing too old and am out of touch with today? Probably.
