Texting, Twitter contributing to students’ poor grammar skills, profs say.

Just read an interesting article in the Globe and Mail that suggested some social networks contributed to students’ poor grammar skills:

Little or no grammar teaching, cell phone texting, social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, are all being blamed for an increasingly unacceptable number of post-secondary students who can’t write.

Well, not all social networks are created equal.  Many Wattpaders are saying that Wattpad is helping them to improve their writing skills!
