TXTING 2 MUCH? ( I DNT THK SO)

Is texting ruining your knowledge in the English language? That is the question that troubles the minds of the teachers and parents (nowadays).

First things first: I DON’T TEXT (a lot) or I just don’t really text. I have a cell phone but I only use it for playing games and internet. I do text but not that much. I just text if I need to. If I claim that I love to text then I’d be lying so I guess having a “not permanent” phone is a good thing.  Texting does not ruin my knowledge in the English language because as I said earlier, I don’t text except if I really have to.

Since technology found its place in our world, everything changed some in good, some in bad. Like cell phones, I phones, these are all products of technology which help us communicate.  Texting is one of the addictions  of teenagers or let’s call it  their habit nowadays. Actually not only teenagers but all the people around the world.  So many styles have been used in texting like these so called jejemons, bekimons and etc. Which bothered me, because these people use wrong spelling of the words like “Hello” they will say it as “eow po” which sounds awful and to be honest it is so irritating. It really affects their knowledge in English. How they compose sentences and the spelling of the words. These kinds of styles won’t even help them in the future. Maybe they did it for fame and so whatever but in my opinion, stick to what is right. I mean you can shorten some of the spelling of the words but adding z or h or giving styles to it, it doesn't look good.

I actually remembered that this kid who is a “jejemon” applied this style of texting in his class! If I was not mistaken it was featured in KMJS which I didn’t actually get, because this style contradict the teachings in English. He can use it in texting his friends or in chats but in school I don’t think so.

So okay, let’s just say that texting CAN ruin your knowledge in the English Language, but it actually depends on the person. She/he should know when and where to use it. So in short, let’s apply our learnings for our betterment not to be famous or whatsoever.  

~This is my opinion and I guess there is nothing wrong to be jejemon or bekimon or be a “text addict” as long as you know when and where to use it and of course we should still know what is correct. The correct spelling of words and correct usage of these punctuation marks.
