Thing 13- Del.icio.us

I was waiting for some food with this title! A little unsure of this one. I can see how bookmarking can help. I did though find some interesting things- Check out the research below on how texting helps teens Grammar!! WHO KNOW? :)

A Strong Command of Grammar

Tagliamonte added that she was "blown away" by the command of English, the creativity and the fluidity of language shown by the kids studied. IMing, cell phone texting and chatroom-speak are "an expansive new linguistic renaissance," the study says.
