The language of texters is always changing (De leon, 2016). Shortcuts with spellings, punctuation and using new generated acronyms have spoiled the language skills of youngsters today. When you 're typing with your thumbs, you need to save your effort by communicating with as few letters as possible, so users created text message symbols as a sort of shorthand to make texting easier and faster.
