Yup! I don't use Twitter, because I'm tired of abbreviating. I've heard all the made-up motives from people both inside and outside of the company but for many years already nobody has been using Twitter via SMS! Also, for years, phones have been splitting long messages into multiple short ones if necessary and composing them back as well. Remove the limit and save Twitter, please!
Most likely, Twitter would not look the same anymore after that. It would morph into a totally different product. So I understand that such a step has to be well thought through.
Well, a new limit of, let's say, 500 characters will make a huge difference! Still short form, yet, not need to be abbreviating and using broken English, skip punctuation, etc. just to fit into the artificial 140 limit!
