I'm not sure which I'm more appalled at, the writer's practice, or the horrid jumble of mutated words the clients (students) attempt to pass for sentences.
When I first started using IM clients, I forced myself to retain proper grammar and punctuation (and spelling!), so that I wouldn't get lazy. I can't say this habit influenced my essay-writing abilities in any way, but at least I can keep my dignity in short emails and text messages.
RU serius?! lol i cnt belive tht colege kids type lik ths
- IsaacL 16y agoYes, I was also surprised by how poor some of the client's writing skills were. I just wanted to comment on how you said you forced yourself to use correct grammar and punctuation on IM. I also use IM a lot, but I tend to adapt my writing style to the other person; if they don't use capitalisation, I don't, if they use 'u' for 'you', so do I. I don't think it's affected my academic writing skills.
