Your own question is an excellent example of subject of the question you were asked.

The building blocks of language are spelling, grammer, punctuation, etc. Your question ignores grammer, the capitalisation is terrible, you've no sentance structure and no paragraphs, the spelling is average and the use of apostrophes a bit hit and miss. That's all very typical of the state of langauge on social media.

I suggest you use your own question as an example. Discuss how you used and misused language. Take some other examples from social media (I recommend you use "official" facebook and twitter pages/streams that represent companies, organisations or celebrities for this - NOT those of friends, family, etc).

Then go on to discuss the effects that the use and misuse of language on social media have on how easy the question is to read and to understand. Useful point to discuss are that spelling isn't generally that important to meaning. Readability is vastly improved by the correct use of sentances, capitalisation and paragraphs. Abbreviations extend the use of language when social media when the media is restrictive (eg. twitter) but are only of value when they are widely and correctly understood (you could reference David Cameron and the LOL story).

That should get you started.
