John McWhorter: A Surprising New Language — Texting
This man is John McWhorter, linguist, political commentator, texter. In this video he TedTalks about why he thinks txt spk is an entirely new form of speech, calling it “a miraculous thing” which enables us to write like we speak, which makes it special. So don’t worry about it signifying the death of intelligence, instead it’s the birth of a new way of writing. LOL!
