Welcome to the forum. :hi:

Please look carefully at my corrections above.

It is a good idea to enable the spellchecker in your browser and set it to English. That would have shown you immediately that you had misspelled "language".

Hi Mooyong.

Sawadeekup and welcome to the forum.

For a start, texting language is not allowed in this forum for obvious reasons. Please write as if you are doing homework in English to be submitted to your teacher.

What I mean is that the OP should try to be grammatically correct.

Well, of course that's true, but learners often don't know what's grammatically correct and what's not. That's why they're here. I don't see any examples of "texting language" in post #1. Were you referring to something specific or just giving general advice?

Texting language tends to do away shifting letters to capitals when they are typed.

I have no idea what the underlined part means.

Welcome to UsingEnglish.com, mooyong.:-D

Does your username mean "dried pork"? Is it your favorite food?

We're looking forward to your first short sentence.

:)

How do you type capital letters on the smart phone or the computer keyboard? Don't you used the "shift" key to do that?

I think "use" is correct here.

I was trying to get at the missing word. See above.
Yes, we change from lower case to upper case by using the Shift key, but I've never heard that referred to as "shifting letters to capitals".

Texters tend to put everything in lower case.
