I’ll admit it. I use LOL occasionally. I also admit to w/ and b/c and JMHO. But, I also notice myself looking for the spell check button when I’m writing a hand written note. Pathetic? I think so.

Therefore I’ve always wondered if kids today are getting worse at spelling. With as much texting as they do, so many abbreviations (you’ve seen that cell phone commercial, right?) how could they possibly know how to spell well?

Evidently, I’m wrong. There are numerous studies that show that texting improves kids spelling. Amazing, huh? I’m still not sure if I believe it. :)

    FYI, SingleTitles and our reviewers do not accept paid endorsements, money for positive reviews, etc. All of our reviews are honest opinions and summaries of the books we read. Like the majority of book reviewers we buy our books and receive books for free from publishers and authors. Giving us a copy of your book does not, nor has it ever, guaranteed a positive review. If we like a book, we'll tell you why. And if we don't like a book, we'll tell you that too. But for the FTC's purposes, here's our full disclosure. Now, back to reading.
