What a load of cods wallop, I can’t think of one school age or even one person in their late teens that can spell. Rubbish!! It’s lazy and it’s creating a new language, English Australian will be outdated and not unstood in not too many more years. How will these children ever be able to ‘read a book’ from the past.
Reader comment on the Ipswich Queensland Times, relying heavily on idiomatic expression and anecdotal evidence to poo poo the suggestion that txting improves literacy. I’m not sure why ‘read a book’ needs inverted commas, except as the reader suggests, this is now becoming a novel concept firmly relegated to ‘the good old days’. I dunno where English Australian is even spoken these days, although I’m pretty confident I could unstood it if it were.
