failure thanks to the phone :P

Even though texting can keep your social life at a high level, it sometimes affects your English skills by bringing your essay scores lower. At first, when you barely start getting the hang of texting, you tend to spell out every word, and write good sentences. After a while, you start to look for short cuts in writing words, such as writing “u” instead of “you”, or “ppl” instead of “people”. Or maybe you’ll even come up with abbreviations, such as that “omg” means “oh my goodness”, or that “lol” means “laugh out loud”. After a while of this, your brain puts the proper spelling of words in the lost and found section of your memory box. Then, next thing you know, it’s time to write an English paper. You write the essay, no problem, and turn it in. but when you get it back from the teacher you have a lot of red marks on it! As your flipping through the pages to find out why you got a low score on it, you notice that all the red marks are from words as simple as “u” that you misspelled. As you try to go back and fix your errors, you realize that texting has taken over and led you to another failed paper.
