Imagine, if you can, the damage that character limitation in text messages has done and is doing to language.

sometimes im too lazy to use shift, butsometimes i view my thoughts as creative as those of e. e. cummings, and he never used shift. if emails bug you that much, be thankful you dont teach high school, where students are turning in formal papers using text-speak.
