I read the other day about teachers in New Jersey being very frustrated with students not knowing that text message shorthand is not appropriate for a school essay. Who can really say, though.

Things like that have made is easier or just open up a window to expressions online. hello, I feel that online writing has changed in a sense, that we do not have to be formal all the time.
