Okay, this substance may be in the same lines , say a sequel to the crux of my previous article , " the confessions of anonymous person". This time I'm gonna confess about something which you may think is so unlikely for anyone to notice or to grumble about. You may also think that this one is too intruding into people's idiosyncrasies. Well you can take an apology from my side before you could continue reading this tale. ( Well I actually don't wanna owe one , because I really think this is an incinerating issue ,that is least cared by people, and has become a latest fad among all aged folks ).
Well, I want to put forward a collation ,the one of a person with his language. Can you imagine liking a person who is totally unkempt and disheveled? I know it can never happen in even in dreams ( Well. I'm not meaning any of those stereotype collections in the cine field where any sort of cupid strikes can happen :P). Well if you can't for the former , then how could you prefer the latter ? How can you not like an improper person and yet prefer the imperfect language?.Language being an integral part of our life , plays a silent watcher and can trip us at times. But the scenario now is that we go and fall a prey to such trips. What makes this happen is the "tangling of letters " . It's become a recent trend to use short forms , with no partiality for any word! Who knows , even as days tread, the words "short form"may themselves be indicated in a more petite form . These short forms not even imply the reduced form of the words, not even a drop of few letters , but involve a complete mix and match with letters tangling and dancing to their own tunes . We are so much used to such words that we almost forget the original spelling of the words and are in a scenario to sign up a monthly tuition with the 2nd grade kids , to learn them up .

The worst situation that one could face is when you type bazillion lines explaining even that intricacies of the cusps of the jist , and there comes the moment when all that you'll as a reply is a "K" or "Ohhhkeey" or an even worse compressed form. It would have taken the same time to type an "okay" or at least an "OK". All you do sway your fingers , which do not consume a day's pay , but just few milliseconds extra. This laconic reply surely puts off the mood of the person who has taken an effort to convey something . This not only pertains to this word but for all those words in the English language. From what was called the way to achieve time efficacy, this is almost turning into a fashion quotient and we have reached a situation where a person is considered to be berserk if he/she types normally.
" I m gtng lte..its 3 alrdy I hv 2 go thr by 4.wen shl v meet.." This is very well understood by all . No doubts .But what in my opinion is , what is that force that pulls you back from just spending that extra few seconds in typing the words fully? . And more appropriately why is that hindering you from being normal?. It's not that by saving these extra few seconds we end up with a valuable day. It takes million such extra seconds to make up a day's hours and so why not use it when there rather than abstractly wanting it.
Again what I mean here is not that short forms should never be used. And I also admit that I'm not a very avid follower of this. I too end up using few short forms like lol , btw and some more . But as specified above, it kills the beauty of the language and once it becomes an addiction, can trip us anytime, and hence may redound to unpleasant situations. In the long run what matters a lot is how well we are able to understand the essence of the language , and these fashion trends can prove to be an evanescence , and a new way of typing words ( to me...a more stupid way of doing it...as there is only one way and it has already been taught to us) can make its way, where if we continue to dwell the same way we are , we will end up in a much more bleak scenario.
The thought that I wanna drive through this is that it's nice if we reduce these short forms step by step and habitually it may be completely driven out , making us to enjoy the real essence of the language.
