rodrick rajive lal's insight:
Tweeting, and texting have both affected the quality of grammar, but in times when communication has become more important than grammatical rules. We need to get our goals straight, whether we are teaching grammar or communication needs to be re-thought!
Our community college remedial English, Reading and Math courses are full of students who can't write, read or perform arithmetic. It seems to have gotten worse over the last 5 years..
Interesting facts. I agree that social media have led us to use abbreviations and forget how to write in a more ... traditional way. This could be a niche market!
