It drives me crazy when I see people 'txt talking' and even misspelling words on purpose. I feel like for the most part it doesn't affect school work, but we've all seen it happen a few times. When I see people do that on formal papers and what not it just makes me think that they are lazy.Charlie Sandvickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10703574685487447272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560585832214320333.post-3780789613972583412011-02-23T15:42:16.870-08:002011-02-23T15:42:16.870-08:00I get very annoyed when people say LOL out loud.&q...I get very annoyed when people say LOL out loud."Txt talk" should be left to instant messaging and mobile phones only.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964550861701868427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560585832214320333.post-60290200011434640152011-02-23T13:29:58.562-08:002011-02-23T13:29:58.562-08:00I know I've never had a major problem mixing u...I know I've never had a major problem mixing up my "txt talk" with actually writing, but I have in the past accidentally written something in "txt talk" form on a paper and notice it later saying "What was I thinking?" One interesting thing I have noticed though, is that since I've been using twitter more I've actually begun to take the time and write out whole words in my text messages.David Talleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17527953684210419527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560585832214320333.post-75562847447691032072011-02-23T13:02:58.584-08:002011-02-23T13:02:58.584-08:00Along with "txt talk" is the slang that ...Along with "txt talk" is the slang that many incorporate into everday conversations. For example, instead of saying probably, many shorten it to prolly. Other examples might be favorite shortened to fav, or different shortened to diff. Not only is "txt talk" used in texts or perhaps schoool essays, it is used in everyday conversation.Amanda Hintgenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03575250533689906029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560585832214320333.post-91728093899028102062011-02-23T12:18:27.986-08:002011-02-23T12:18:27.986-08:00I personally have no trouble differentiating betwe...I personally have no trouble differentiating between when "txt talk" and proper grammar are applicable. However, with classes such as this class, I can understand how sometimes those boundaries can be crossed and confused. Tweeting expecially could cause students to be confused on when "txt talk" is and isn't appropriate. However, students writing in this language in an essay for example just sounds completely out of the question. I would hope at least most students would be able to realize that is not appropriate.Erin Gerkenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12683410750559706763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560585832214320333.post-27775405606370777622011-02-23T11:22:19.424-08:002011-02-23T11:22:19.424-08:00I completely agree.

Over the past several years there have been many complaints that students have lost their good grammar skills and have started using "txt talk" in formal writing situations. I agree that students are smarter than we get credit for sometimes. Just because I use certain texting lingo in that setting doesn't mean I do not know when I shouldn't use it in a formal writing situation.Maddie Boswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04289712479599624459noreply@blogger.com
