does grammar is matter for the age of Twitter

With growing popularity of social media, who doesn’t know about the platform Twitter? Twitter only have 180
characters to express themselves per tweet. It has created their own shorthand language, full of abbreviations
and hashtags.

What matters the most, is that you say what you want in as few words as possible. If it can be in correction,
grammatical errors are encouraged. As a result, spelling and grammar on twitter suffers terribly. Even worse,
people bring these habits into their everyday lives. Some abbreviations is becoming a trend. Adults are using
this in their emails and students are using it in their writing assignments. These shortcuts save time and effort,
but they can be inappropriate for certain settings.

Grammar is losing their value because technology and social media are making things too easy for us. What can
be positively stated is that social media and technology are here to stay, but we don’t have to allow ourselves
to be dumbed down by its convenience. We should try to make the effort to spell, speak, and write correctly in
the future.
