  All of they've abbreviations show how "text speak" has a negative impact on literacy skills. Because so many real words and phrases are being substituted with letters and numbers and characters, young people growing up to use "text speak" may not learn proper words and how to use them. Instead of "hate" kids use "h8" and don't properly learn how to spell real words. Text speak also discourages the proper use of punctuation and sentence structure.
