People want to fit as much information as possible into as small a space ( text )  as possible by pressing the fewest buttons, but it still needs to be understood by its recipient. Therefore Writing is always dictated by the tools we use. But each text quality shows the level and understanding of standard English and how depending on yourself your gramatical understanding shows.]]> 2022-06-13 08:43:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/techwr/wish/2219296157 https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/techwr/wish/2219300163 2022-06-13 08:48:13 UTC https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/techwr/wish/2219300163 nhussey1973 https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/techwr/wish/2219300271 Source- EF English Live

"Young people are increasingly prone to texting and shy away from making phone calls"- reduces direct socialisation, essential characteristic in the workplace


"1960's and 70's children were far more literate than children of today" - reducing SPAG.

Text messaging derives from the Standard English lingua franca, confusing the younger generation and people wishing to learn the language.

Standard English is being overshadowed by acronyms and slang, degrading the etymology of the language.

It teaches children different ways of communication.

The more kids send and receive texts, the worse their grammar skills become

Texting ruins our fundamental understanding of standard English grammar

kids can’t shift between standard grammar and the abbreviations used in text messages

kids ages 10 to 14 take a grammar test and it turned out those who sent or received texts recently performed worse on the exam

With “the culture of mobile communication — quick back and forth — inevitably, there are compromises on traditional, cultural writing,” said S. Shyam Sundar
