As I Get Older And I Get

As I Get Older And I Get A Few More Years Experience I Become More Like Dad, You Know, King Lear.

Language Itself Changes Slowly But The Internet Has Speeded Up The Process Of Those Changes So You Notice Them More Quickly.

Language Changes And Moves In A Different Direction Evolving All The Time. Where A Lot Of People See Deterioration, I See Expressive Development

I Believe That Any Form Of Writing Exercise Is Good For You. I Also Believe That Any Form Of Tuition Which Helps Develop Your Awareness Of The Different Properties, Styles, And Effects Of Writing Is Good For You. It Helps You Become A Better Reader, More Sensitive To Nuance, And A Better Writer, More Sensitive To Audience. Texting Language Is No Different From Other Innovative Forms Of Written Expression That Have Emerged In The Past. It Is A Type Of Language Whose Communicative Strengths And Weaknesses Need To Be Appreciated.

Texting Has Added A New Dimension To Language Use, But Its Long-term Impact Is Negligible. It Is Not A Disaster.
