Tired of tweeting in abbreviated snippets that don't allow you to flex your full vocabulary? Hang in there. Twitter might expand its 140-character limit to 280.

The social media platform has kept its 140-character rule in place since it burst on the scene 11 years ago. But now it's testing a larger typing field, according to The Associated Press.

Doubling the characters would be an easy fit for Twitter's mobile app, the company said.

The San Francisco-based firm said this week that 9 percent of all tweets in English come up against the 140-character limit.

"Also, in all markets, when people don't have to cram their thoughts into 140 characters and actually have some to spare, we see more people Tweeting -- which is awesome!" the blog post reads.
