https://www.ted.com/talks/john_mcwhorter_txtng_is_killing_language_jk
In this talk we listen to a debate about whether texting is killing traditional English Grammar. It talks about the new slang words that have come in to fashion for people to use and how it is spreading out of teenagers language and into adult language as well. However it is debatable that language may not be standard on text yet people do know that when it comes to formal situations, such as job interviews and essays, teens do understand we need to use full English.
