Texting may improve language skills

Texting may improve language skills : Christopher Null : Yahoo! Tech: "The thing I love about research studies is that, whenever someone comes out and says one thing, the next study released directly contradicts it.

Two years ago, an Irish eductation study concluded that text messaging was harming schoolchildren's English skills, noting that the kids, about 15 years old, had become 'unduly reliant on short sentences, simple tenses and a limited vocabulary.'

Now comes the flipside, with a UK university's research finding quite the opposite."
