passage about Text Speak
The article and the lecturer more deals with whether Text Speak is advantageous or not for children. Whilst the author feels that it is not very good habit for children for three specific reasons. The lecturer disavows his points and say that this passage's claims are not convincing and rejects all claims made by the author.
First of all, the author states that children will not take the time to learn new words when they are practiced to Text speak. He also adds it advantage by saying that, It is a good habit for children and will promote creativity, thoughtfulness, and many more. On contrary lecturer says that there were times when messages were limited to 100 SMS per day and many restrictions. So Text speak was an effective way for texting others. The lecturer adds on to that by saying that it is just a special type of language.
Secondly, the author highlights that in formal writing children may use these acronyms which is not advised. He also asserts that children who communicate via text speak are more likely to make errors and they are practiced to use non-words which is due to lack of exposure. However, the lecturer brings this point into argument by saying that the purpose of this is to give more exposure moreover, children are reading and writing rather than just speaking which a good thing.
Finally, In the article the author claims that if children are prone to such languages for a long time, they might be more spelling errors in native English. He also asserts that the level of literacy may reduce and also, understanding of literacy, top class works of literature may be reduced. However, the lecturer argues that it's not a different language that most messages are written in. He also holds that, they are just new words that are added and these are words which developed along time.
