Language Liberalization

It is debatable as to how far, if at all, e-mail and SMSing reduce IQ. But the 'Counterview' that 'Shortening language has negative implications', is very much pertinent. The threat is primarily for children who tend to adhere to wrong spellings and faulty grammar on account of excessive e-mailing, internet chatting and text messaging on mobile phones. Turning a language on its head by means of abbreviated communication may be fun and time-saving even, but this unrestricted and rapid liberalisation of language may be difficult to cope up with, as simple and important messages are often getting difficult to decode.
