Abstract
Technology has transformed much of ordinary communication into written rapid-ire shorthand. More time is devoted to tweets and emoji-laden texts, and less time is spent talking on the phone. Capitalization and proper punctuation are often abandoned in modern-day communication, and abbreviations such as FOMO, fear of missing out, and YOLO, you only live once, abound. First-year law students are experts in this new style of writing, adept at the grammar and punctuation shortcuts that pervade tweets and texts.
