    The document discusses texting slang or "txtese", noting that it can also be called SMS language or chatspeak. It is used in text messages, social media, and emails. While txtese can take longer to read, understanding the message is most important. Some argue it could cause young learners to forget grammar rules, but others believe it does not destroy the language since you still need spelling and grammar skills to use it. The passage also provides examples of using "lol" for funny moments and mentions someone teaching their father to read chatspeak.
