More people these days send text than calls, and it has become acceptable not to talk to people with voice. Texting has also created a new language, yet in doing so has weakened grammatical knowledge of the general public. It has been shown that more students are abbreviating words and using texting language in place of literacy on exams and essays. Teachers are even saying that they have noticed a change in punctuation and spelling on student papers, which can very easily be an outcome on texting. However, with new technology new keyboards have been created. Most phones these days contain a full key board, with keys as functional as computers. This may improve the grammatical state of student and adults that gave way to the texting language. Marietta Intro to Soc(FGCU):
