Yes and eventually no one will know how to read and all the books will be burned because there will be no point in reading or face to face conversation but lol's and shorthanded nonsense- it's all part of the demise of the intelligent human race. sorry- i hate texting. But really I think it is something that blew up because the cell phone companies found a way to make a lot of money and kids and teens that really text like to have their own language because it makes them feel different and so their parents can't understand what they are talking about.
