This is an amazing article that I want to share with you guys! I found this article on the Pen State University website. This article discuss how tween's which is the age range between 9-14 that text in acronyms and according to researches "decline language and grammar skills"(par. 1). Cingel who is a Distinguished Professor of Communications and co-director of the Pen State's Media Effects Research Laboratory states that, "The use of these shortcuts may hinder a tween's ability to switch between techspeach and normal rules of grammar"(par. 5). Teachspeak is when someone uses shortcuts and researches have stated that it is affecting children's grammar. Cingel said, "Overall, there is evidence of a decline in grammar scores based on the number of adaptions in sent text messages"(par. 8). After given middle school children in Pennsylvania a grammar assessment test. Hope you enjoy this amazing article.
