1|P a g e Texting is killing language Texting is a new form of language that is invented by people who text frequently. People who don’t text are not conscious and familiar to the texting language. It makes it harder for them to recognize the language of people who communicate through text. Language was invented because of the way people used to talk in the old times, the first writing was based on the way people talk, with short sentence(Ramanayake & Williams, 2017). It is often said that texting is scourge as it declines the writing ability of a person by destroying the literacy. Texting can be said as a miraculous thing that emerges complexity in the practical life. Texting is not about writing as it is much less reflective. It is said that if writing is done like speaking then it is said to be logical. It is true that texting is killing the originality of a language, as no one uses proper punctuation and grammatical rules while texting(Ramanayake & Williams, 2017). It doesn’t happen while talking as all the grammatical rules and punctuations are followed while speaking. Thus, texting causes some sort of decline as texting has lack of structure and lack of rules that is somewhere killing the basic rules. It is found that texting is changing the way of communication and spoiling the basic rules(Siragusa, 2017). The texting habits are developing in young generation as they use different way of communication with different people. They talk in a different manner with their boss and in a different way with their friends(Siragusa, 2017). There is no fixed way in which communication takes place and it has changed the forms of language. Texting is an own discourse as they communicate with different people in a different way. In the text message individual use abbreviations that do not have any meaning and they have their own kind of grammar that don’t make sense(Lefkowitz & Hedgcock, 2017). Thus, it is killing the language as texting can be said as a poor writing as they have their own kind of conventions. It is said that in the upcoming time, young generation will not understand the basis of language and will adopt wrong sense. For example, many abbreviation have been used LOL is one of them that doesn’t mean laughing out loud that has been evolved in a different way by different people(Lefkowitz & Hedgcock, 2017). The literal meaning of words and sentences have changed while texting. Texting is considered as a downfall in context to language development. Texting is the instant messages or thoughts that are written without following any rules then is not focus put over capitalization, punctuation or any grammatical rule(Yusaf, Khan & Nazeer, 2015). Texting is just a causal way of communication. From the
