You can use this when texting a friend or someone, but remember, not all people like to read this kind of text and prefer the long one, and not everyone understands what you're writing. There's also a moment where a person misunderstood a text from a TikTok meme where he messaged his crush and confessed his love, and his crush replied with "aw tysm," which means "aw thank you so much," but instead he read it as "autism." We wouldn't want that, would we? 

How did this happen? How do we prevent it?

Have you ever wondered why these grammatical errors could happen? There's some reason why this happens. 

1. Fast Typing or Writing and Autocorrect

This is why you should not type quickly even if you are in a rush! Especially when you type a message to your professor or boss, which can cause incorrect grammar. And what about autocorrect? Autocorrect can be useful at some times but can also be annoying; That is why you have to double-check your writings before finishing it. 

2. Lack of Grammar Understanding

This probably happens to all people, especially non-native speakers. It is okay if you do not really understand grammar, but you also need to learn it, especially if you want to write something on social media using English. 

3. Chill and Lazy Behavior towards Grammar

People often used simple words with incorrect grammar because they were too lazy to type. They would have thought as long as the others understood the point, there was no reason to be specific with grammar. It might seem unnecessary, but if you are doing it continuously, you can lose your grammar knowledge due to using too many simple words or sentences. Don't be lazy! 

Their Impact on Online Communication

 There is a lot of impact that could have happened from these grammar mistakes. Either it will be a funny comedy effect where people laughed at these mistakes, or even serious effect where it can cause a huge misunderstanding. But what if we have already posted it? Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy! You can edit your writing on your post or simply delete it and make a new one with edited writings.
