language

My Response:
-I believe he is completely
right. Just because we text
with terrible grammar does
not mean that we cannot
write correctly.
-It is surprising to hear an
adult speak like that about
teenagers texting in
todays time.
-Most adults believe that
texting is so ignorant when
this man believes it is like a
whole new language,
which I do not agree with.
Their Response:
-I agree with you but I also
believe that teenagers
need to know when to
speak like during a text or
speaking in person. Other
than that teenagers keep
evolving this idea of texting
as a new language.
