New world of Internet Expression. Oh, and Halo.

I believe this is the same phenomenon that's been worrying schoolteachers across America for a few years now.  Looks like their nightmares are coming true!

In the past, conversation amongst the youngins was generally done by phone - but now we have a new generation that actually uses text messaging more than phones to converse.  The end result is that the method of writing these messages becomes hard-coded, and all writing starts to lean towards the text messaging style...

I pity the English teacher of 10 years hence.

*currently studying English intermediate course in order to teach English to high-schoolers when I'm done with my education*

If any of my students ever used 3317-speak or other Internet-lingo in an essay or a presentation, I'd slap them silly, and dangle them out the window.

I pity and hate those who use Internet-lingo, be it on the Internet, or in "real life."
