Mensajes de texto (texting) en inglés

 In my recent book ESCRIBIR Y COMUNICAR EN INGLÉS (Anaya, 2016), written in both English and Spanish, I suggest many things. For example:

• Do not text because you are bored. Your messages should have relevance.

• Type short and very clear sentences.

• Do not forget the subject+verb+object structure.

• Remember that people's time is short and valuable.

• Emoticons imitate the Egyptian way of writing, but are often confusing and unclear as to what you mean. Use them sparingly.

• The four recomendations above may be hard to accomplish; still I think we must try, especially because on the internet nothing disappears.

Everything is always there, even after being erased. So, let us be careful.
