I’ve heard other people describe “text speak”, and while I’ve used some for my infrequent texts my co-workers (and myself) are too old to fall victim to that - I work with no millennials.
I’m with you. I still type correct spelling and grammar on texts. The only times errors show up is if I’m “speaking to text”. Most folks know if I did that because of the (sometimes funny) translation errors.
I don’t know about NJ, but I know in both MA and RI, schools aren’t teaching cursive writing anymore. WTF? How are you supposed to sign your name, for example.
Insane. The dumbing down continues...
