Texting creates—and, by nature, almost encourages—poor grammar habits. It also makes communication much less formal and can even make genuine statements seem insincere. Here are some of the problems with texting:
Seriously! He is texting someone else instead of talking to me...... |
- People who use text adaptations of words tend to have trouble with basic grammar and subject–verb agreement.
- Using text abbreviations, such as "u" for "you" and "r" for "are" means that texting has a negative influence on people's writing.
- Use Text speak which encourages the greater misuse of homophones, such as "there" and "their." It also means that more abbreviations, such as "gr8" for "great" or "h8" for "hate," are being used, which negatively impacts writing.
- Because text messaging cannot accurately convey tone, emotion, facial expressions, gestures, body language, eye contact, oral speech, or face-to-face conversation, it is likely messages will be misinterpreted or misunderstood. The real meaning of your message gets lost through the medium.
- All too often, relationships go sour due to miscommunication via email and text messages. To keep this from happening, simply avoid using these mediums to have important conversations. Instead, request the kind of communication you prefer, whether that's face-to-face or over the phone.
- Texting and using abbreviations for words means that we are losing our ability to have—or are at least avoiding—the traditional face-to-face conversations that are vital in personal relationships.
- When people communicate primarily via text, they're much less likely to have meaningful conversations.
- Texting can have a negative effect on interpersonal development among teens and even adults.
We haven't even been dating for a month and she is texting instead of having a conversation with me |
Let's not forget our manners to that extent that we kill potentially good relationships.... because you are caught up in the texting world so badly that you neglect to speak to the one sitting right next to you. or across from you.
