Texting - A new standard in writing


Has texting negatively affected that standard of writing? As more and more people use texting as a form of communication, the texting language has become more and more accepted. Texting has created a new form of writing, using acronyms to spell out words, phrases and even full sentences to make typing easier and faster, for example LOL meaning Laugh out loud or CUL8R meaing see you later. Some teachers have commented that there has become a increase of casualness in writing. Some students have started using these acronyms is reports and papers. Whether texting has negatively affected the standard of writing is of personal opinion, but one thing that most people can agree on is the fact that texting has deffinately changed the standard.

  2. I agree with both of you. Texting is a modern, 'upgraded' version of the old-school pager. Send a text and wait for a text, or send a text and wait for a call back - seems simple enough to me!

  3. But I think that there is some limitation about texting. We only can understand people who does text. Like my grandma, she has no idea some of the term we use for texting.
