Should SMS English replace conventional English?
We live in a superior era. Modern human doesn't have the time to read bulky newspapers or read long articles. It's the time of text messages and twitter. Should newspapers be shortened to one or two pages, with tweets replacing long articles?
Should SMS English replace conventional English? Should "you" become 'u', "your" become "ur", "great" replace "gr8" etc. in the future versions of Oxford and Webster dictionaries? Ads |

That would be kind of like newspeak. So no, please not.
Besides, I don't think it is even that many people who write like that in texts and twitter and what not. I don't. I would be quite annoyed if I had to revive my proper spelling to something that includes numbers and abbreviations. Official standards should conform to the language, not the other way around. Ads |
