With the increased use of new technologies such as laptops and computers, tablets, and mobile phones, text speak has become very popular. It is being used every day by millions of people all over the world, and many people, particularly in the education sector and in the media, have voiced their concern about how it is affecting the English Language. Many points of view came into consideration whilst I was researching this topic, but the main arguments centred on the ways in which text affects spoken language vs. written English.
