Response to Reading: 2B or not 2B

The main purpose of writing is to convey a message

to an audience of readers or to inform an audience.
Through my experiences as a writer, my first
preconception is that grammar, spelling, and the
organization of a piece of writing needs to be correct in
order to make it easy for the audience to understand.
Because of this, writers must have a knowledge of
language, as explained by David Crystal towards the end
of his article.
However, with new forms of writing such as texting
and shorthand, some linguists believe that language is
being wrecked, and that it masks dyslexia. While this is
a legitimate fear surrounding a new form of language,
nobody has the ability to write in shorthand with a strong
knowledge of the language and of the audience that they
are writing to. A writer has to create a message that is
understandable to who they are trying to reach.
With the evolution of texting has brought new forms
of artistic writing, such as SMS poetry. Even SMS novels
have surfaced, like the one Chinese writer Xuan Huang.
The story was told in 1008 Chinese characters, over 15
chapters, with one chapter being released to an audience
everyday via SMS text.
Texting is not an invention of a new language
brought upon the world by devils, but rather a modern
twist on one that has been carefully and artistically
manipulated over thousands of years.
