Discussion Question: How do you feel about text/internet speech?

Ashley

How do you feel about text/internet speech? I’m talking about things like lol, how r u, and c u l8ter. It could even include things like not using capital letters or proper punctuation. Is this an example of language changing and evolving? Are we eroding the language? Or is this a phenomenon that won’t have a long-term impact on how we use language?

Do you use text speech? Do you mind it or does it bother you?
