U plz km asap.

A decade ago no one would have expected the language to change its spelling structures.The technical leaps opened many easy ways of communication. It made faster texting a compulsion. Letter writing has become an extinct art. Nobody thinks of sending post letters. It is just the texting of messages and the mails. This is not going to kill us but it is killing the sensibilities and ultimately the beauty of emotional communication. It's not the world but the words, that are dying.
Then what about the language...
We need not worry about it. Language is an evolutionary process. The making of words include additions, removals and acceptance. First two belong to the grammarians. The third one, acceptance, belongs us - the users. These users include speakers, listeners and writers. We started to speak, listen and write words of easy applicability.
For example - Laugh out Loud has become lol. It is accepted and added as a new entry to the vocabulary by the Oxford English Dictionary makers.
ROLF - this needs no explanation
ASAP(as soon as possible) - is spoken as a word
TTYL - talk to you later
BFN - bye for now
Chat changed us very much.
The burden of multi chat or the speed requirement or the freedom of no rule mood/mode of privacy made people opt for an easy scribbling of messages in the in boxes of chat rooms.
The word you is shortened to U. May be in the near future, new spelling patterns may happily adopt to this kind of spelling patterns such as - Write as you speak and speak as you write.
