Keywords:

This study explores how technology is changing the way we use language today. With the rise of social media, messaging apps, blogs, and online forums, people now communicate faster and more creatively than ever before. New words, abbreviations like “LOL” and “BRB”, emojis, and casual writing styles have become normal. While these changes make communication quicker and more fun, they also raise questions about what’s happening to traditional grammar and formal writing.
