Double Entry Journal

Text messaging “does serve the purpose of raising consciousness” about the fact “that there are different ways of making people spell.”

After reading the article the keypad solution. I found a quote about text messaging. Alan Mole, the president of the American Literacy Council says "text messaging does serve as the purpose of raising consciousness" about the fact "that there are different ways of making people spell". This quote surprised me, i do not agree with it. I believe there’s only one correct way of spelling not different ways of spelling. Also the new way of spelling in text messaging is due to laziness and inability to spell correctly. Kids now days are changing the way they spell to send faster text messages, it’s not a different way of spelling.
