This is how many of us communicate in this new social media world. Whether it’s a matter of convenience in texting and status updates or it’s a matter of necessity in tweets (only 140 characters), our communications have gotten shorter and shorter.

Is this a good trend? Not if the meaning of what we’re trying to communicate is lost. Clarity should always take precedence over brevity.

I agree with the experts that a short concise message is best. But don’t shorten your next text, email, letter, phone call, presentation, etc. to the extent that your message is misunderstood.
