Texting making us bad writers? Part two

    Taking a stand - From the beginning I did not think that texting was making us bad writers. I have always thought that texting has always helped me personally especially with spelling. Using abbreviations and things like LOL or OMG are obviously only used for texting but I do believe that it helps to a certain extent with everyday writing. This article just made me realize even more.

Why do I think this?/ Evidence - From a personal perspective I have realized that there are several words that I do not/ did not know how to spell and when I look back on it auto-correct changed it and with time I learned how to spell things without auto-correct. I understand why some people think that LOL and things of that nature are making us bad writers, but truthfully who would put that in an English paper? No one because we know that we only use abbreviations like that to shorten the length of texting. We know when and when it's not okay to use certain writing skills. Therefore, texting is not interfering with out writing it's actually helping. For instance like the article says it helps with note taking. I actually do have that teacher that talks a mile a minute and i use abbreviations all the time such as "Bc" for Because or " @" for at, it help so much to use abbreviations in times like that. It's just another way to prove that texting is not making us bad writers.
