IM Chats

IM-chats have been hitherto dominating our lives with astounding innovations in the world of internet and computers. Teens and adults alike, take to Instant Messaging, which is both cheaper and convenient. It has cultivated a new IM-culture --- let me interrupt by revealing the relevance of the title, Vanity Fair which explicitly refers to this IM culture ---, revamping the traditional ways of writing with all the razzle-dazzle in the age which has seen the rise of Kindle, mobilephones, i-pods, playstations and the Internet, thus fast dethroning books, unattractive telephones and the drab n draggy videogameplayer that comes with 100 in 1 gamedisks... Emoticons and a torrent of words and phrases inherent to IM language have plagued people. I've come across a burgeoning number of people actually saying LOL, which sounds like a sick Pomeranian woofing and few gangs saying 'ahem ahem' instead of twitching their throats and modulating their voice for producing the same.
