This is a clear example of the way in which the English language is adapted for ease and convenience. For example, typically the assumption would be made that young people would have this conversation slang but it appears that as times go on it appears to be spreading with older generations in turn, turning to this convenient form of communication. Not only is it necessary with a character limit in text messages but with such busy lives being lead it is also necessary for points to be put across concisely and conveniently. The format of this form of communication is laid out in a way that it is easy to read. It also seems that in many circumstances people are adapting words to suit them to for example above 'prac' refers to practice.
You have in depth analysed why text language is used covering a range of audiences, format and used several examples. It is really good,
