Spelling and the Internets
Friday, November 26th, 2010At Thanksgiving dinner we talking about text messaging and the damages to proper spelling, and now I just saw this: “Chatrooms and social websites encourage bad spelling, says study.”
Determined among a survey of 18- to 24-year-old children “there is now a ‘general attitude’ that there is no need to correct mistakes or conform to regular spelling rules, it says. But this means that children who have been brought up with the internet do not question wrongly spelt words.”
(Don’t worry, the article is British, so “spelt” is properly spelled.)
I know that English is an always adapting language, which has helped make is so popular, but I do agree with this article. Kids today!
