Txt Msg Baby Blanket
As text and instant message become dominant forms of communication, the English language is being altered and abbreviated for the sake of time and cost. Although text message language (or "textese") can be convenient, it can also be quite harmful to the vocabulary, grammar, and even thinking skills of young children; kids today are learning the abbreviations of words before they learn the words themselves. By embroidering this on-the-go shorthand into the slow, deliberate medium of a baby quilt, I hope to address the potential effects of text message language on future generations of children. (Translated in English: "You are too cute for words. Laugh out loud. Smile. Kisses and hugs")
