OTOH texting has it downsides, too and perhaps it's these problems thai create all the interest.Texters gripe that they are getting more spam texts than ever before. Teacher complain that students test scores are getting worse because teens spend more time texting than they should. some also say that texting encourages bad grammar and punctuation and IMO, that's true. Students don't realize they shouldn't write their essays in "textese" and they get low grades as a result. Many young people are sleeping less because they wake up in the night everytime a text pop up on their phone. others have injuries to their hands and thumbs from the constant texting
