by Alonzo Edmundo (Compiler), Wali Crowder (Compiler)

Overview

Clarity Creative Institute’s A-Z & 123 of Texting & Digital Lingo Resource Guide
“For The Digitally Impaired”. This book will serve as a guide to navigating through the terms and texting lingo that is used by today’s 21st Century Youth Culture. These terms and lingo are used across social network platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube as well as mobile communication. Since terms and youth lingo tend to shift and change due to different regions and new trends in Pop Culture, use this book as a guide and tool rather than a rule. This book can be useful but keep in mind that new words and lingo are created and introduced into youth culture daily.

Though this resource guide will provide a glimpse into youth and digital culture, it should not replace traditional conversation. If you hear a new word or term not found in this book, contact us or the resource pages we’ve listed.
