This article ultimately explains that texting is simply the next form of communication. It isn't something to be bashed, but rather celebrated. While it has a loose etiquette, texting can help a myriad of people (as this article elaborates on).

While the title is somewhat unrelatable, the premise of the article is. Essentially, it explains how using a phatic expression like "how's it going?" won't amount to anything beyond a one word answer. The article further supports this claim by elaborating on the fact that if you ever need to check up one anyone, the question should be phrased more accordingly. There's also this great video by Tom Scott explaining more about this linguistic device (https://youtu.be/eGnH0KAXhCw).

This article is essentially explaining that teens aren't the main cause for a dramatic change in our language but actually innovators bringing in new words into our daily vocabulary. It also says that everybody can change language, as some words become "dated" and others don't. Teens aren't the only ones to blame for modern lingo.

Rhett and Link go through an entire day basically only saying one word. I find this to be pretty interesting for the first few minutes, but it gets boring afterwards. This is due to the fact that they end up using gestures (like pointing or mimicking) to convey what they mean. While it gets boring, there are some moments where they seem to understand each other perfectly. Other people also catch on, so that is pretty interesting too.
