on BBC 4 (Andy Hamilton presented it - "Its Only A Theory") - a professor of linguistics (David Crystal) espoused texting as being beneficial to language and made excellent points which I think bear considering - here's an article on the same subject from the Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2008...guardianreview

I get what you are all saying, but guess what, im going to play the dyslexia card. (report attached)
I try extremely hard to make sure that my spelling is correct. (I am also working on my grammar and punctuation but I am finding it really hard to understand). I have even changed over to Mac's so that I can highlight the text and it reads it out to me.
But does it really matter that much if people slip up a few times on a forum. Its a place to chat to others and pass on knowledge and advice not an English Exam! I recently had one of my posts picked up by admin because i put 'U' instead of 'you'. know i appologise for this but does it really need to be highlighted in red with a "Admin: Text talk isn't permitted. Please read the forum rules for clarification." at the bottom of the post.
This does knock your confidence a bit.
