The language of texting is a special world where using a period can mean you’re angry or annoyed, LOL doesn’t necessarily mean you’re actually laughing out loud, ellipsis (…) can mean one of at least 12 different things, and watch out if you don’t respond to a text after the right amount of time. Feeling baffled? The students of ALDS3202 Language in Society Winter 2016 have written the definitive usage guide to the language of texting to help you. We hope you enjoy it :-)
