Now, we should invent a new way to speak. Each of us needs something that removes ambiguity and includes only short, easy to pronounce words. We will find it easy not to accidently say the wrong thing. Such that the right things will flow almost unconciously. People will be more free knowing communication can happen without having to overthink it. Eutopia would be soon to follow. Anyway, just a thought. K

I understand what joke you are trying to make, but I would say the real problem here is the exact opposite: a lot of tweets that I see end up being more ambiguous because of the brevity and lack of context. So it seems what you describe is actually already happening and is one of the main problems with microblogging, and is probably what caused this person's tweet to get flagged.
Yes, I agree. Trying to fit meaningful, full thoughts into 1xx characters is part of the problem.
Btw I worked (too) hard on that one, even encoding a message :)
