The reason i chose to do my satire project on short hand texting was because i feel alot of people mispell words in text and try to cover it up by saying they didnt feel like typing the word when that honestly isnt the case. They just can't spell ! Every website that i went to dealing with text abbreviations talked about how every individual person tries to come up with their own abbreviations that's why there are so many different ones. My opinion on the matter is that you should either spell out the complete word or don't text the person at all . Texting is an alternate form of communication but some people just use it as a handicap /crutch . I chose to do a rap so everyone would better understand the point that i was trying to convey . When i wrote my rap i wrote the entire thing using " text slang" or text abbreviations. My satire was made for people of my age that would understand exactly what i was saying without having to look all of the abbreviations up for the words i used. When i flipped the meaning of text messaging and the abbreviations and made it seem like people who use text messaging in this form are illiterate or stupid and that is the definition of what a satire does to point out the weakens of someone to make a greater or more serious point.
