Introduction
Language propels everyday life and keeps us in touch with one another. Through many historical reviews we have increasing our knowledge about the ways of using this language – telegrams, post, telephone, e-mail, instant messaging and the most infamous of all – text messaging. We talk to people in different forms every day, calling our parents to tell about new events in our lives or meeting and chatting with friends. Demands on our time have increased because of this neediness in talking, and so we use shorter words and shorter sentences. We talk so much that we seem to be running out of time to do just that. It all seems so impersonal when we have to rush away to get to the next conversation. We become some sorts of machines, by how much talking we want, and need, to do it. And so because of this reason we use Slang in our conversations. Maybe someone think that use slang has bad influence on our lives, but I think that is some of the ways of development our connection through the conversations.
Slang in our life

First of all slang involves using a phone, or other device, to send a text message to another mobile device. In other words, it is sort of like instant messaging for your phone. Maybe you use slang, because you are using a telephone, you don 't usually have a full keyboard at your device. Instead of it, you have to type your message using the numbers on your phone, each of which is associated with a letter. To save time and energy, hundreds of different texting slang words and abbreviations have come to help us
