Texting and Grammar Skills

Some people believe that texting is destroying teens grammar and writing skills. In truth it is not! Texting actually works the brain in ways that correct grammar can’t! Your brain has to actually work to translate the abbreviations. Not to mention that teens are smart enough to keep the informal writing style out of their school work.
Sure there may be a few mistakes here and there but hey they might be on to something. Our “formal” English format we use today is actually Latin derived from Greek!
We did the same thing to those writing styles as teens are doing to ours. So maybe in the future we will have a new alphabet!
