Now that I've tried blogging and posting to Facebook using my i-pad mini, I can see why people are using shortcuts and no sentence structure. Today I learned how to turn it on and off and upload a photo to Facebook. But I'm back at the computer so my fingers can stretch a bit. Increasingly, the ordinary person is dumping their computers when using social media.
This is the photo I posted on FB a few minutes ago. First I took a photo of myself in the mirror, or maybe it was my finger. I'm a little awkward at this. I had to delete that one and the 6 "burst" behind it--can't hold the finger down too long.
This is our replacement Lazzy Bear from Christmas 1986. Our first one was stolen in a home break-in--imagine someone stealing a stuffed bear--but they were very popular that year. My friend Nancy got me a new one. We still put him out every Christmas.

The little devices -- I don't have a tablet but I do use my smartphone a lot -- do not encourage literate discourse, but brevity. Sadly, brevity these days means poor grammar and eye-stinging abbreviations rather than any sort of elegance and economy.
I have similiar struggles with posting from a tablet. I still use the computer for blogging.
