Yes, I am guilty of texting a lot but at least I have the decency to fully spell words. The word "you" should not be reduced to "u". It's two extra letters! Come on people, it's not that hard!

CM1145 #7 Rhetorical Analysis
Right now in class we're working on a rhetorical analysis on an editorial, and it's actually quite interesting. I'm doing mine on an article that argues how text messaging is negatively impacting language skills. I have to say that I agree, to a degree, that this claim is true. Kids these days don't realize how easy they have it, I mean all their phones are equipped with spell-check and their grammar is still terrible. It's sad, really. I hate going on Facebook and seeing "omg lol ttc bbg". Like come on now, that's just horrible. Are people really so lazy that they can't even spell out full words anymore?

I agree with you! When I was in elementry school I remember having spelling tests of at least twenty words or so. It's like people have forgot to spell because of technology. I go on facebook and I see all of these abreviations and half of them I don't even don't what they mean. I swear they come up with new ones everyday. I know I can't spell some words but in my defense they are difficult and more complex words. Like I don't know how to spell schizophrenia, I literally just had to look it up. But I do agree with you, people should spell their words out.
