Since the birth of social media, it has been noticed that the younger generation is

getting bad at grammar.

OMG and LOL have become popular acronyms in recent years, and they have
become a trend in people's communication. People are getting lousy at grammar
and writing well-structured essays and sentences as a result of the trend of writing
and communicating colloquially when using social media.
Because the majority of the younger generation enjoys using social media
platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and Instagram, these platforms
have become a source of learning and practice for them. Their goal is to
communicate their message as quickly as possible, so they choose to compose
sentences with few words and words with few characters. For instance, they use
“u” instead of “you” and “r” instead of “are” to shorten the length of words.
Others disagree: we're spending more time writing than ever before, and that's a
good thing, not a negative thing. So it's possible that our regular writing exercise,
whether it's in the form of text messaging or posting on social media, is similarly
beneficial.
As per researches in academics in linguistics and communication, says that
because social networking is widely considered as a toy for the young, there has
been a lot more studies on how it affects writing standards in schools.
In 2013, the Pew Research Center, a non-profit organization that researches
opinions and trends, polled 2,462 US writing teachers about the impact of ‘digital
tools,' such as social media, on writing. Teachers were surprisingly upbeat, with
78% saying that digital tools "promote student creativity and personal expression."
In the end, it's difficult to say whether social media is beneficial or harmful in
general. On the one hand, it encourages people to write more frequently. On the
other hand, it could be encouraging ‘bad' habits that are inappropriate for a
professional workplace.
