texting is killing language

John McWhorter: texting is killing language

Texting is miraculous thing, Seeing back what language is. Language has existed perhaps 150 thousand years ago. At the time people do speak instead of writing.  texting is not writing at all. Writing is something that came along much later. First there’s speech then writing comes along. Base on history, there is natural relation between speech and writing such as when we listen a speech basically talk like writing. Texting is very low structure, no one think about punctuation capital letter. And other something wrong with texting such as using of LOL (laughing out lout), most of people use because it’s a new trend among people today.
