Change the Texters, Save the World

Many people in the text messaging world are hurting crucial communication. The abundance of abbreviations, multiple grammar issues, and lack of punctuation make, what should be simple messages, difficult to understand. Some people are starting to abbreviate full sentences thinking it will be quicker, when really the reader has to spend five minutes just to decode the text. Without punctuation, how are we supposed to know the intent of the sender? Are they asking a question or are they making a statement? To prevent these common mishaps, text messagers should only use worldwide abbreviations such as "omg" or "g2g". Senders should also take the time to type on more character to add punctuation to eliminate potential confusion. If texters would follow these simple rules, communication across the nation would be much more effective and the text messaging world would be saved.
