The difficulty level of texting or spelling is not high at all, there is no need to destroy the language. Texting has made it acceptable for people, especially young people and students, to overlook the importance of spelling and correct grammar. Ask any ELA teacher- they could tell you. It is evident all over the place, from formal essays to emails and instant messaging. It isn't a good result of cell phones.  Texting these days has become a huge problem in students lives. Students consistently mis-spell words and use incorrect grammar that is obviously a direct result of texting. For example, the word "that" is usually written as "tht" when texting. This specific examples make english teachers out there want to throw the essay or work out the window. This has become a growing problem and will most likely be an even bigger problem in the years to come. The lasting results of texting will be extremely hard to correct. ~Lindsay Harris
