Instant messaging will be the death of us

If you noticed, a lot (two words) of the spelling in this persons posts were shortcuts that teens use in their instant messaging. It saves them time but will ruin the English language.

I've seen my kids try to do high school level English reports using this style and have spent countless hours refining their grammar, punctuation, spelling and sentence structure. I feel for our future.
