Normally when a character limit so small is imposed and the users are aware of it, I would have expected the graph to be heavy on the long side, but not at the very end. This clearly shows that Twitter's limit is forcing a lot of its users to abbreviate unnecessary, even to the extend to affecting the readability of the messages. Twitter should have lifted the limit already, or impose a significantly larger limit, if they still have to impose limits to prevent users from yakking away too much, especially since SMS is not longer one of the key ingredients of Twitter.
