Dear Internet/Texting language

Dear Internet/Texting language,
    You might be singlehandedly ruining the English language. Ok, I can not place all the blame on you but I have to tell you that you're not helping us out any. I am a social network whore and I am pretty sure that without auto correct to check my spelling sometimes I wonder if I would be able to spell?Gasp! I don't want to say it's laziness but I am leaning towards that as the culprit. I don't think changing the spelling of words on purpose helps any either, Chingy please stop spelling there thurr it was ok back in the day but now I'm starting to wonder if you know how to spell. It is getting to the point where sometimes it takes me five times re-reading something to decipher it, which is bad when English is my first and only language.
   Another issue I wanted to bring up is the shorthand, I'm talking about the lol's and the lmao's. Where are these shorthands coming from because I'm totally out of the loop on some of these. I had to ask two of my friends then consult the all knowing internet to figure out what smh meant because I saw it used 20 times a day on Twitter and Facebook. Both of the people I asked had no idea what it stood for either. Thank you for letting me know your head is shaking because that changes everything and it makes me understand your comment so much better. Can there be some limits to this craziness because I have a feeling ill need NetLingo to make an app for my phone so I can decipher what people are trying to tell me. I want you to know I don't think your mission was change the path of the English language but it is not a good sign when people use lol when they are talking in person. Thats sooo weird and in a way creepy because that means you are communicating by texting or the internet more often then you are talking to real live actual people. I don't think any of this is news to you so consider this letter just a little note pointing out some issues that could be problems in the future.
TAIHTTYRN,
(That's All I Have To Tell You Right Now)
