I disagree with one of the points in this article. The author disagreed that the internet has made students way to casual in their writing, but I actually agree with that statement. Even though this is one example, i feel that it’s important to share. Back in high school I was in a government class where we got assigned a three page paper. After everyone turned in their assignments a few days later the teacher addressed the class about a specific paper. Apparently one of the boys in my class had turned in a paper with a lot of derogatory marks directed towards people of the Indian race. The teacher had asked the boy why he thought it was okay to write such a racist paper and he replied that it was because all of his friends on the internet spoke like that every day. The boy thought that it was no big deal. When online, people think that it’s okay to say whatever they want, even if it’s horrible. And unfortunately, i have seen this idea surface more than once.

I would agree with this post. When people know what their abriviating then it’s almost the same thing as them writing out the full word or not using the slang. Writing is writing whether it’s in slang or in detailed words, as long as people keep doing it, it is a good thing.

Great article. I’m an active user on WordPress, Twitter and Facebook and I believe that maintaining these sites has in fact progressed my writing skills. With Twitter only allowing users to post an update 140 characeters long, I know put more thought than usual into what I have to say, making sure it’s direct and clear. On the other hand, when users are given such a small amount of space to express themselves, they may turn to the “texting slang” to fit more into one post. Facebook has added a new twist to posting updates, though. Now that anyone from your boss to your grandma is using Facebook, there’s added pressure to use correct and formal writing styles when updating. Of course not everyone is going to adapt to internet writing the way that we all hope, but that’s the case with any new style of writing. What we do have here is obvious proof of how progressively writers evolve with each new writing outlet that presents itself.
