English term or phrase: crucial (character)
Good stuff. But this reads as though the linguists are taking Twitterese as fairly representative of spontaneous language. And yet again, no medium since the telegraph has required more concision than Twitter does. "Coo" may be bigger in California than elsewhere; it's probably more prominent on Twitter than it is, say, on Facebook, since it saves a crucial character. So I still look forward to finding a) how Twitterese differs from length-unconstrained written language, and b) whether Twitter's widespread use does affect how people write when they're not writing on Twitter. Mr Fiennes may yet be right; but he may well be quite wrong. The answer is out there.

Спасибо!

ценный
Explanation:
еще как варианты: нужный, важный и т.д. драгоценный - как-то слишком громко, мне кажется.

Речь идет о том, что в одном твите может быть только 140 символов, поэтому, как говорится, каждое слово - на вес золота.

neutral  OWatts: на вес золота не слово, а каждый печатный знак

  -> это и так понятно из контекста, а я просто пояснила, о чем идет речь. в твиттере не только печатные знаки, но и слова, и даже знаки препинания на вес золота. =)
