The fact that Twitter forces the “tweeter” to pack as much commentary as possible into 140 characters lends itself to even more “murdering” of the English language–or of any language.

Having said this, I am sure tweeting has some benefits…as perhaps we are seeing in Iran

Thanks,

I have a Twitter account but have yet to learn how to tweet. The Twitter directions are not clear on how to leave a tweet. I think the twitterers are all raised on text messaging. What alarms me is that the corruption of language thru text messaging is raising a generation of youngsters who won't know how to spell. I will have to agree with you.
