If a tweet contains a URL, Twitter interpret that combination as a web address and will auto-convert the two words into a t.co link. This is useful in most cases because you can avoid writing http:// in your tweets and Twitter will convert all the included web addresses into hyperlinks.
If you dont want Twitter to convert your URL into a hyperlink and display URLs in plain text, here’s a simple trick
Just replace the period (or dot) symbol in your tweet with its ASCII equivalent (.).
For example, if I were to tweet – “is allaboutsite.com show correct things?”, the modified tweet will read like “is allaboutsite.show correct things?” and Twitter will show that link in plain (with out hyperlink) text.
It’s a simple trick but the only problem is that some apps, like the Twitter app for iPad, do not handle ASCII codes correctly but that should get fixed with time.
