"LOL -- U R gr8"
Texting lingo is one thing that is being used on daily basis and because of that it it being typed into everyday English papers which is causing a lot of grammatical errors when being checked, but the knowledge about this is that the students don't realize that they are actually using lingo while typing because they are so used to seeing this is it cause people to over look when rereading or peer editing others papers for a research paper. My knowledge is that it is known to be grammatically incorrect but why is it incorrect just because it isn't the English style of writing being taught it is considered wrong. Question to you: What if it is the new way of writing? How do you know that in another five years it won't be added into the English course concepts that have to be taught?
