Some people are horrified by the language shortcuts we are talking in this digital age of cellphones, email, blogs, chat rooms, and social websites.
Take Professor Jack Moore for example. He wrote, “In the world of text messages, ignorance of grammar and punctuation obviously doesn’t affect a person’s ability to communicate messages such as ‘c u 18r’ (see you later).” Journalist Bill Wales supported Professor Moore’s opinion when he wrote in his weekly column, “When the shortened form of ‘electronic mail’ began appearing in print, the question was whether it should be e-mail or E-mail; the lowercase form has clearly prevailed, although using the uppercase would be an acceptable style decision. My faith in human intelligence still hasn’t recovered from the development that followed: The popular spelling among the general public has become ‘e-mail’ which is an insult to our intelligence.” So, are you also as horrified as Mr. Moore and Mr. Wales about the language shortcuts we are talking in this day and age?
With all their shouting and complaining, the people who want to stop this trend are failing to see the truly significant language phenomenon talking place right before their eyes. What we are witnessing may be that, for the first time in the history of language, a communication form has made the writer more important than the reader. Punctuation, as Moore, Wales, and the others point out, was created with the sole purpose of helping the reader clearly and quickly get the writer’s point. The same goes for grammar in general. The same goes for the rules of usage. They help the reader or listener understand. (), the information-age shortcuts now shaping the language are designed primarily for the writer’s convenience ――――― at the reader’s expense. Because it takes a lot of time to scroll through letters on my cell-phone to spell ‘see,’ I just write ‘c.’
