Bad grade for texting

In the article “F in grammar? Maybe it’s your phone's fault" by Alessandra Potenza talks about how the way we text, tweet, and even Facebook can be causes of our low grammar grades. More than 2,000 applications that were submitted by students have "misspelling, miss punctuations, spacing mistakes” that are found in text messaging, not in formal writing. To Babineau, this shows “laziness and lack of care” about their writing. The problem increasing in the age, texting, tweeting and Facebook. English teachers, college admission officers and employers are finding a lot more grammar, and writing mistakes then they used to. Amanda Lennart explains as you write more “slang term” or “shortcut “or “abbreviations”, don’t be surprised if it shows in your school work. Most common mistakes that are found are “words at the beginning of sentences and personal names are rarely capitalized, numbers are being used instead of letters and “u” often substitutes for “you.” Some people blames technology not only for proofreading blunders-spell check can give writers a false sense that all their mistakes will be caught. On the other hand, O’Connor argues that “Evolving grammar are natural and that teenagers don’t make mistakes because of technology “she goes on by saying “the mistakes are just more visible.” Teachers sees technology as the enemy “You’re not going to get from an "A” to an “F” because you had spelling or grammar issues.” People don’t judge you on your writing. In conclusion, I think that technology and social networks are not the cause of the miss spelling in our writing. Half of the free writings we do are supposed to be our own type of writing but not from all occasions like job applications etc. Some people just don’t know when to turn it on and off when needed.
