dear gods of Mt. English,
what is your opinion on messages here on this site where some messages ae written in a text-messaging way like:
ur, u, for
your and
you. and i just read one,
'aven't.
Here in the Philippines, teachers discourage this kind of writing. The effect on a student's spelling abilities are tremendously awful. Ex.: one 2nd year school mate of mine back in high school became so famous for she spelled
thoughtful as
thotful. her reason is because she got used to this when text-messaging on her
cell phone. since most of us asking here are students, shouldn't we warn them on the use of these text-messaging vocabularies?
P.S
I'm just concerned
